Eating just enough protein to prevent a deficiency may not exactly lead to the best possible performance. You've got to motha fuckn eat to grow. Obviously your size and weight will matter I'm sure you're not a 400 lb strongman eating 10 to 12 thousand calories a day. Look at Michael Phelps what does he eat 10000 calories a day? He burns a lot of calories you can see his oblique muscles he's in pretty good shape. In order for him to grow he would have to eat more than 10,000 calories a day if he also kept the same routine I'm swimming and working out . How many calories a day are you eating? If I'm underweight I can bulk off as little as 1200 calories a day. Again I would have to be underweight to do that. If I'm at weight I would need a hell of a lot more than that to grow. There's a reason why guys are drinking 15 eggs before they go to bed. Those are the type of guys that are on stage . The proof is in the pudding . So often I don't get enough protein. This hinders me . I wish I would practice what I preach more often . If a guy can grow and put on 40 to 60 lb more weight than he is natural off 1 pound per 1 gram I protein I would consider that guy very lucky or extremely good genetics . Ectomorph mesomorph endomorph weight size what you do for a living and your activities will make a difference there's no doubt about that .

What do steroids do? How do they work? I'm sure you already know that steroids cause your muscles to synthesize more protein. This is very important. This is a pretty good damn reason to take protein. I want everybody to keep in mind then obviously you need carbs and fat to grow as well. And when you're cutting your catabolic. That's as catabolic as you're going to get. You absolutely need protein it's your carbs if you want to cut down. Now I have just coincidentally proved that you need carbs to grow. This is one thing people sometimes forget.

If you were taking 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight. And you do not increase your protein to feed your steroids then your steroids will go hungry in layman's terms and you are wasting your time.

Google copy paste
Eat High-Protein Foods. Anabolic steroids increase protein synthesis, which in turn, promotes muscle growth and repair. Your muscles act as a sponge and soak up the protein, carbs and other nutrients you consume.

If you're taking steroids and you want to grow. In fact let's leave the steroids out if you want to grow in general whether that be muscle or fat you have to eat if you want to gain fat you need to eat a lot of bulshit if you want to gain at quick pizza hamburgers milkshakes and make sure you sit on the couch and don't move you want it all to store as fat. If you're trying to gain muscle then you need to work out daily you need to stay active and you need to eat cleaner than you would if you were trying to gain fat but none the less you would have to eat any more than you normally would just like a growing baby. Kids go through growth spurts and they eat a lot. That's just common sense. It's important for your kids to have a well-balanced diet including protein.

Well I rambled on and probably didn't answer the question at all. I'm not your coach. I'm not your personal physician. I'm only 204th the smartest guy on here. Definitely not top 10. But I do know Common Sense. Yes up your calories and up your protein.

Our bodies work differently but there are rules of thumb. Some say if you want to grow double your protein per pound. Others apparently say you don't need any extra protein at all. I wish that were me I would save a lot of money. There's nothing worse than not meeting my protein or calorie intake for the day. I immediately start losing weight and start looking flat.

Max is a pretty smart guy. Has a s*** ton of experience and knows his shit. I think he would say 2.5 -3 grams would change your body in the right direction for sure. Of course if you've never tried it you'll never know the true power of utilizing steroids and protein

Now we’re talking! You are correct in that assumption. I do take 2.5 to 3 grams while on cycle. I grow like crazy!! I pay very close attention to carbohydrates as well(they can get complicated).

Ratios go out the window! Pay attention to the mirror. Need to figure out if you can handle high carbs. Each person is different. You may need to do higher fats or a mix. It varies

The carb thing is a sensitive subject. I know people who can hammer carbs hard. I personally have to be careful about carb timing and what types of carbs. Everyone is different here I suppose.
