Bodybuilding Forums

I realise that this is a anti steroid forum which is cool with me but i was curious if you could do marks high protein,fat and low carb diet with a beginner steroid cycle.Any help would be a big one.

Not exactly anti steroid forum but the purpose of low carb high fat diet is to mimic the effect of steroid. However I assume on steroid you will need to consume much more calorie above your daily calorie need(300-400 for us naturals) since your muscle growth is much more rapid and unrestrained when you are on the drug. I guess the way to calculate this would be:

Naturals: maximum 3-4lb muscle a month and we eat 300-400 calorie above our need, protein per day = lean body mass in kg x 2.25

Rood user: I believe you can gain 10-15lb or more muscle a month, which means your body need a lot more fuel, so maybe 400 x 3 = 1200 extra calorie above daily need(that's just my speculation). You will most likely need higher protein intake too. I would keep the carb intake at 30g if you really want to do low carb.

Somehow I have a feeling that you can probably eat more than the calorie I suggested, but then these are just assumptions, hope that was helpful!
