changing your diet

[dblock521]

should one change up their diet according to which aas cycle they are using....if so would like feedback on some sample diets for a straight testc 10 wk run

[baseline_9]

Well im going to forget to ask ur stats etc. Because j have posted in the diet sestion and give u a straight answer...

Yes calories need to be increased to not only allow muscle growth but to maintain it once off cycle

Rememba if u gain 10lbs of LBM on a cycle u should be eating 500 calories extra per day

50 cals per lb gained

Evaluater ur cycle and work ou how much u think u will gain approximatly, then add the calories right from the start

^ ^ ^ this. I don't know if I agree with 'guesstimating' how much you'll gain and basing calories on that, but they definitely need to be brought up beyond a typical 'off' surplus. I'd suggest adding about 300 to whatever you're currently doing and monitoring from there. If you're blowing up nicely and bodyfat is at least being maintained, keep adding and find the sweet spot.

it does seem like much for a guy your size as far as calories. How bout some macros per meal?

[baseline_9]

At 19% BF u want to be loosing weight not gaining it

And ur diet is not good

[gbrice75]

Agreed with Base on both points. Take a look below at Damien's info thread, and one of my diets for an idea of a cleaner healthy way of eating:
