Hey guys, I just started a cycle 3 weeks ago and wanted to get some advice and feedback regarding my nutrition. The goal of this cycle is to add lean mass. Prior to beginning this cycle, I spent about a year in a nice, controlled cut. I went from about 22% BF down to about 9% BF and have never been this lean in my life. I spent several months at maintenance and have now gone into a slight surplus. I am prone to gaining fat easier than most, but know I need to eat in a slight surplus to gain the lean mass I am after. I am presently eating in a surplus on training days and around maintenance on rest days. I do realize I will have to further increase my calorie intake over time.
Here is my question: Given the fact that I gain fat easy, where should the majority of my excess calories come from? Protein, Carbs or Fat? Does it really matter? Also, given the diet plan below, what advice or suggestions would you recommend?
I did my best to provide all the information below.
