Experienced user macros while on

[Nicsgear]

I'm considering my first cycle but I have a question regarding diet while on. Iv done lots of research regarding total calories to eat while running a cycle and can't come to a decisive decision based off the evidence. I was wondering what some experienced users opinions were regarding how many calories to eat, specifically when bulking. I'm currently eating 3250 cals a day and gaining about .8 pounds a week. If I was to start a cycle could I expect to gain significantly more than that while eating exactly the same? Or would I get better results by eating significantly more say 4500 cals?

You would need to eat more. On AAS you grow so quickly that even a week or two your current caloric intake will become maintenance. So you need to increase more to keep gaining, and then that will become maintenance... then eat more, and more, and more.

Find out what your maintenance calorie intake is add 500 cals to that. If you start to slow down on your gains add another 500 cals. Continue doing so. If you find that after a week or two you need to up your cals to keep gaining wait then you know to add 500. Make sure they are clean cals though to get the best results.

If I don't want my weight to stall at any point would it be logical to continually increase the cals by about 200-300 per week of the cycle regardless of whether or not it stalls. The only problem with this is I would end it taking in about 2000-3000 extra cals which I highly doubt would all be put
Towards muscle gains. Has anyone who's run a few cycles noticed significant gains by starting off with an unusually high amount say 5000 and continue this for the whole cycle?

The truest statement on this whole board!
