    You missed my point. There are at least a dozen other factors that need to be known and considered before someone can tell you how much protein you need. You cant answer the question in a vacuum.

    I got it my friend, but the problem is that everybody saying different things, I don't know who is right.
    Some say that as a bodybuilder I should take 1 grams of protein per pound, others say more, I also heard others say that the protein daily intake should be much much more than that when I'm on steroids, unlike when I'm not on them.

    btw, I'm 26 years old, 165lb, 5'10, bf around 11%, trying to start my 1st cycle. Thanks mate.

    I know you're not here for cycle advice, so please don't take this the wrong way - but given your stats (5'10 @ 165lbs is pretty skinny bro) and lack of diet/nutrition knowledge, PLEASE don't run a cycle. You are clearly not ready. Just my .02

    Do not cycle, join the remote trainer challange, share all of the information your trainer asks you to and do what he tells you to do, you will grow.

    To the OP, as i said in post 4 above its better IMO to add to a current diet rather than just saying 1 + 1 = 2....

    I hate it when people try and over complicate calculating calorie requirement

    I dont care how good at number crunching you are it will always be a 'guestimate'...

    The only real way to know what u need is to try it and see what results you get. That is what FG is trying to say,,, there are too many variable to use a cookie cutter sum to work out calorific requirments

    The key is consistency with the diet, AAS will NOT help you ATM

    In fact they will prevent u from gaining in the long run because you will loose the support of the diet guys that CAN and WILL help you get where u wanna be

    Gd luck
