Calorie intake on cycle
« on: January 14, 2017, 01:14:49 PM »
According to weight gain calculator, for 2lbs of muscle growth a week I'm supposed to have 4,357 cals.  Needless to say, I need to increase the calories as I put on more muscle.  However, since I'm on cycle, should I increase my calories even more than what the calculator says, and if so, how much?

Cycle info:
In week 8 of TEST E/750mg/week
in week 5 of TREN E/500mg/week
In week 1 of Anadrol 50mg/day

No, AAS does not directly increase expenditure rates (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1730811).

Despite having some secondary benefits (nutrient partitioning, mineral absorption, etc), just set your intake numbers as you normally would and then assess in the following weeks using both your objective and subjective data to determine if changes need to be made.
