Diet Prioritizing: When cycling, Higher Protein or Higher Calories ?

[needbigguns]

when cycling, if some days your diet lacks, to salvadge your diet that day, whats more important ? get your protein up to 300g or calories up to 3000 clas

i would think if your bulking getting 3000+ cals. if your cutting to get your protin.

I think there is a correlation between the two.

If you ate 4 double quarter pounders, you'd have around 200g protein, but 300g/fat. That wouldn't be very good for taking advantage of the gear or increased nitrogen levels in your body.

I'd rather make sure I had a surplus of protein than calories so I would be more likely to gain lean mass instead of fat.

Agreed. You need enough calories just to maintain, never mind bulking. Always keep your calories up while bulking.

I have to agree with protein, it's the building block to muscle
