calorie intake on cycle

what would you estimate your calorie intake is on a cycle compared to your intake off a cycle? include your body weight if you can.

do you gain much fat aside from water retention on an average cycle?

Not at all... my last bulker it almost seemed to go down. My calories are extremely clean when bulking.

how many cals do you get in on a cut?

I never count calories on a cycle....just grams of protein and carbs.

I almost match my 1.5-2/body weight to the dime..I dont do tons of calories, maybe sometimes close to 2000. thats about it. Just like Zapp, I watch mostly my protein intake, and some carbs..

4 Calories per gram of protein
4 Calories per gram of carbs
9 Calories per gram of fat

I agree with not counting your calories. Was just giving a rough estimate as to what I take in. Usually it works out to 1.5 g per pound of weight for protein, 1/2 g per pound of weight for carbs and 60 grams of fat per day.
