Diet Macros When On A Cycle

[dinogoesrawr]

Should the diet macros be a bit higher when on a cycle vs when not on a cycle?
How about on training days when on a cycle vs non-training days when on a cycle?

I'm getting just over 2.7k calories, 270g carbs, 300g protein, 80g fat a day on a cycle but I'm not sure if this is sufficient. I gained 5kg on my first cycle (I'm 80kg now) and 5'11 in height. I'm taking magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin B5 (to prevent spots) and flaxseed oil tablets also. Its all 'good food' no junk or dodgy stuff to make up calories.

Can someone please advise me? I'm about to go on a bigger cycle from next week so want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. The new 4-5 week cycle will be:

2 x 50mg Avanar tablets per day and 1 x tamoxifen tablet a day.
3 x 3ml injections per week including bold and test cyp. The third I need to double check the name as I think its actually a mix of a few substances.

I'm not sure if I need creatine or anything else as I am vegetarian and most of the protein from the above is from shakes.

Thanks!

Being a vegetarian will always hold you back. You need an abundance of amino acid rich meat to grow excessive muscle tissue.

We adjust our macros according to goals, not gear we are on. They often go hand-in-hand, but as goals for a given time period change then macros need to be changed.

2.7K calories isnt enough for me anyway, off cycle. I recently started my first ever planned bulk and my bench press is going nowhere on 3k. I just upped it to 3.5k today. I used to just eat everything when I was bulking. But never again.

I do not intend on being 'huge' so being vegetarian shouldn't be a problem.

How do I calculate the macros are enough for me ATM? Looking for a clean lean bulk.

Sorry I mis-weighed some of the food I eat so its actually:
Just over 3k calories, 320g carbs/protein and 80g fat per day.
Is this ok?

Hey man!

Count your TDEE and add some kcals!

320g of protein is a lot for 80kg IMO

1,5 per pound of LBM is plenty.

What is you bf% btw?

[dinogoesrawr]

When I use that calculator it comes up with 2600 ish calories. So if I'm eating just over 3k calories I should be bulking right?

I eat extra protein because I'm vegetarian. Its probably more like 250g as myfitnesspal takes protein from other foods too.

BF % - hmm - not really sure tbh but based off the pic I would say probably 15%. I have some fat on my stomach which is why my abs dont show but im pretty lean elsewhere.
