on a bulk or a cut?

i usually never diet on super low carb, lowest i ever had to go was like ~100 - 150 but only for very short periods. i'm now bulking on gh and i've been doing my usual high carb/lower fat typa bulk but dropping fat a bit more than usual and using those cals for extra carbs. it's been working great, so i know it works obviously... in theory though, what is better to eat during a gh cycle, higher or lower carb? i always assumed higher carbs because increased igf levels...
 
no advices? i woulda posted in the peptide section but it's dead in there....

i'm guessing that most people on this part of the forum don't run gh by itself huh
 
For lean bulking your ideas look sound but I am not an expert on this. Maybe post your macros and stats for a more discerning eye bro.

yea, that's a good way to put it, i'm lean bulking.
my stats as of today are 5'6 or 5'7 (somewhere in the middle lol) 172 lbs @11% bf. no anabolics for 2 years, got injured on a cycle 2 years ago, had to stop lifting for a year and for the last year or so this is what i've worked myself up to again.
my macros/cals are ~3000 cals divided into about (this for example was last night the ranges are always about the same) 188g protein/51g fat/455 carbs. that comes out to cuttin my fat down to 15%. usually i keep my fat around 20% or a little higher.
also, usually at this weight i would probably be lean bulking at ~2850 cals but with the gh i'm able to increase cals at a faster rate and eat a bit more. right now i increase 50 cals weekly, in the beginning while coming out of a cut i was increasing 100 cals/week. i'm seeing very little, possibly even non, fat gain as opposed to what i usually see and i always thought i was more of a carb sensitive person being that i was always a chubby kid before.
i really want to know other peoples experiences while on hgh and how they altered their diets for what purposes. like if i was to mini cut 2 months into this bulk, would it make sense to go low carb or is high carb better in general while on gh?

btw, i'm on hygetropin hgh mixed with ghrp2/cjc w/out dac and i've been most impressed with the strength gains for some reason...

*edit: i should've mentioned i do 1 - 2 cheat meals/evenings a week in which my daily calories can be a lot higher. also, i eat in the morning before workouts, get in a good amount of carbs, a bit of fat and some protein, basically what i need to really have the energy for my workouts. after that pre-workout meal in the morning i usually fast until night and eat most of my cals in a 1 - 2 hour window. on non workout days i try to fast all day until night. however, days i don't feel like fasting and just feel hungry or whatever i will eat, i'm not that crazy about it. biggest reason i do fasting is because i have a huge appetite, pounding down 2700 calories in mostly 'clean' foods at night in one sitting is nothing for me... if i eat during the day sometimes i don't feel satisfied at night when i go to sleep and i hate that feeling.
