My question is, is there an ideal amount of calories to eat over maintenance in order to grow? Most common I see is 500. So should I prep for 3200 cal a day or would an even 3000 be just as good?
Eat 500 kcal above your TDEE if you want to increase your body weight.
My other question is what would be the ideal ratios of p/c/f?
Thanks in advance!
