    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

    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.
