Diet Recommendations:
In addition to taking powerful anabolics and working out hard, to achieve maximum gains while on a cycle it is extremely important to utilize a proper diet. Increased amounts of protein are especially crucial for this muscular development as it is the key building block of all muscle formation. Your diet should consist of the proper balance of macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates and protein) to maximize gains at specified times during a cycle. You should hydrate yourself well, as water is 80% of your muscle weight. Frequent feeding also increases your metabolism and provides muscles with steady ingredients required for maximal growth.
There are two basic types of eating patterns associated with cycles and muscle development, either called bulking or cutting diet phases. During a bulking phase more total calories are needed to achieve maximum results. It is recommended users eat up to 18 calories per pound of lean body weight. During cutting phases, calories should be lower around 8-10 calories per pound of bodyweight. Ultimately, the quantities of food should be determined by personal goals. For more mass, eat more. For a slower, leaner build of your body, be more calculated with your macronutrients by lowering the calories and non protein calories. Basically, it would be a hybrid of a bulking and cutting diet. For a cutting diet, one would eat less fats and carbs, while keeping protein high. This would reduce excess calories from turning to fat and at the same time let’s the body burn of existing fat stores.
