Best macro ratio's for bulking/cutting

just wandering peoples opinions on macro ratios for either cutting or bulking

i dont believe there is a correct answer here - i just wanted peoples opinions

last time i cut - i used a ratio of 55/30/15 (Pro/carb/fat)

this worked well - and went below10% bf level, but found myself very moody due to the low carbs
and lost a little too much muscle for my liking

next time i will experiment with a 40/40/20 split



as for bulking i'm currently in day 1 of a bulk cycle and am on
40% pro
50% carbs
10% fat

wow i didnt think this thread would be that unpopular :tear:

I start my cut at 55/30/15 and as I progress move to a 40/40/20.

I always bulk doing 40/40/20.

Ah a reply at last
thanks giantz

i used to use 40/40/20 for bulking but found it made my protein just too high

i'm gonna be controversial here and say i believe carbs
are as important (if not more important) than protein

if u want 4000kcals on 40/40/20 split
you need like 420g protein which i think is too much

some pro's use a lot less than that (cutler uses 300g for bulking)

I don't view that as controversial at all. A steady state of elevated blood sugar is what will keep you in an anabolic state.
