    Eating at a 500 calorie per day surplus and getting .8 g of protein per lb of lean body mass or more are most of it. Beyond that, more calories and more protein don't have much proof of.helping a natural lifter.
    Carbs matter to the extent that you have enough to fuel activity and glycogen stores.

    Well you have to get your nutrition on point...
    • 0.6-0.8g of protein per lb of body mass
    • 0.4-0.45g of fat per lb of body mass
    • fill rest of calories with carbs
    • 250/500 calorie surplus

    Do you use your current weight or goal weight?
