    lean bulk macros help on AAS

    Good day everyone
    Im plannin on going on lean bulk cycle. I had an accident that made not able to work or eat good for 4 months and dropped about 20 lbs
    so its been 4-5 weeks of me getting back at gym heavy and organizing my meal and i gained decent size back and up to 60% of my strength back and its getting better.
    im 27, 5'11, 217 lbs ( was 230). i'd say 15% bf. muscles well defined and get great pump and veiny on workout. flat stomach but no abs.
    my goal is going 8 weeks Test Prop, NPP, dbol + AI+ dostinex+ HCG
    also im very knowledgeable about PCT . MY question is I need diet help

    I used TDEE calculator and its about 2815
    so i figure i need about 3500 calorie ?
    not sure about calorie split
    and also need help about Re-Feed day

    right now im doing this
    On workout day i'd have
    1) 50g protein shake + 80g (1cup Oats) + 1 tbs peanut butter
    2) 8 egg whites ( 2 full) + 2 slices P28 bread
    3) 8 oz (cooked) chicken breast + 150g brown or white rice steamed + brocoli+ asparagus
    4) same meal as 3+ about 12 pieces almonds
    Pre workout + glutamine
    Wokrout + bcaa + extra glutamine
    5) 50g post workout protein + 50g (carb powder,not sure of name big& orange)
    6)i'd have any kind of fish or tuna (big can) about 50g protein + lettuce+ parsley + cucumber+ asparagus+ some almonds

    on that plus 30-40 min stairmaster cardio 3-4 times a week
    i lose fat. so figure test,npp, and add size i'll need more food i guess...
    any advise is appreciated . i could probably go another 1-2 months natty to get the strength back

    good question. i guess i just go by whats roughly a good quantity. like i know chicken has 25g per 4 oz or so
    so 8 oz is 50g protein
    150g rice is close to a cup or so. and only get fats from almonds, peanut butter and such.
    dont get me wrong, im pretty good at getting big and getting to under 10% bf but im just looking for something optimal or close to be optimal.

    Dude, to lean bulk you need to screw those numbers almost perfectly, once you've worked it out once it's easy enough.

    what should i do first then ?
    Im basically looking into doing some sort of a slingshot where i do 8 weeks lean bulk with minimum fat then cut down for another 8-10 weeks
    so diet is tricky. you need macros for my current diet ?

    At 230lb @15% = 195.5LBM
    195*15 = 2932 daily maintain cals
    Now lean bulk is debatable but my research suggests 600 - 1750 extra cals a WEEK would be enough to put a pound extra of muscle on, so let's shoot with 300 cals surplus a day on five workout days and two rest days per week.
    So 3230 at 40/40/20 =
    1300 cals protein / 4 = 325 G protein per day
    1300 cals carbs / 4 = 325 g carbs per day
    630 cals fat /8 = 78.5 fats per day

    Now eat to that , and track, if you clever you can eat the same energy with less calories. No empty calories , no dairy, no bad fats, no sugar.

    Without putting that in a calorie calculator and working it all out, I have no idea, bro, you asked for optimal .... You're gonna have to do the leg work and do the math, optimal does not mean guesswork

    Your lean bulking, stick to th plan everyday - be strict or it will turn into a fat adding exercise. No refeed as your not in deficit
