Should I increase protein intake during cycle?

[mozzwigan]

Do you just stick to normal macros during cycle?

 

[mdella89]

AAS increase protein synthesis, so yes i would increase protein.

I weigh 225lbs at 6'0", on cycle eating 300-350 grams of protein daily,..not including PWO shake.

1.5g/ lb of body weight works good

you should eat good regardless of on or off cycle. Diet is number 1

Agreed, but I was kinda wondering the same thing, does everyone keep their protein around 1.5-2 on cycle or do you bump it up?

I usually do 1.5-2

 

[BodybuilderX]

i'm 5'10, 176lbs and I'm currently eating 311g of protein on my training days and 285g on my off-days. therefore i'd say, keep protein intake HIGH.

 

[Malave16]

I normally up it from 1.5 to 2 during cycle

IMO this is plenty @ 1.5/lb of body weight.

Protein is hard on the kidneys and the body can only make use of so much the rest is simply taxing your kidneys.

2+ g/lb if your competing or want to have competitive physique

could you please expand on this, what do you mean the hard way?

 

[R1rider]

it can cause kidney issues. your kidneys filter everything, extra protein is hard on them and accumulates in the kidneys. this can lead to them not working @ 100%

plus extra protein cause gas and other digestive issues, it hard on your system

so don't go over 1.5g/lb of body weight, drink lots of water, stay hydrated throughout the day, drink water when you wake up to pee at night also

[Jack Torsbear4]

How did you come up with this?

 

[Mavaleu]

I normally have about 1.5x, I'd bump it closer to 2x on cycle.
