Increase Bulking Calories while on Cycle?

[Forever Dedicated]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made a similar post a few days ago and got the answer ( wise as it may be ) that I need to experiment. Problem is I dont want to waste my first cycle because I was experimenting with calorie levels.

Heres the gist, my diet is spot on. Chicken, Brown Rice, Fish, Natural PB, Veggies, Oats, Egg whites, Loads of water ect. However, I cant decide at what caloric surplus I want to be at.

I am currently bulking with Anavar ( please dont start about how its better for cutting, I got the stuff for free from my brother who decided he wasnt ready ) and I originally planned to go with a surplus of 500 and bump as the weeks passed. Heres the problem...

This is my first cycle and while I could go by my bodyfat ( mirror ) Im quite unsure of whether because im on Anavar I should be gaining more off the same amount of food as I would if I werent on cycle or if I need to increase it and not worry about fat gains. Seeing as how Anavar does have some mild fat loss/hardening qualities I really want to avoid watching the scale too closely as well.

Question is, when on cycle does a 500 cal surplus become a 1000? Does your body utilize the extra cals or will I just end up a strong tubby at the end if I go at it with this mindset?

How long is your cycle? Personally I think 500 above TDEE is perfect - Anavar isn't going to make a huge difference anyway. If you're doing cardio ED, possibly bump calories up to 750 and see how it goes.

10 Week cycle at 50mg Anavar. Im having an exceptionally good reaction to Anavar considering its my first cycle, not even a week in and awesome strength n hardness.

That said I am currently 500 over maintinence and will continue to monitor appearance. Welcome anymore opinions and thank you for yours Gbrice.
