Advice on caloric intake while cycling

ad

I am 5'6 and 142.

I am about to start running 500mg;s of test c a week.

I see a lot of advice for bigger or average sized guys to eat 4K to 5K worth of calories a day. What do you experienced guys think would be a good range for me since I'm easily twice as small as most guys here?

You have a nice lean look right now, eat and train smart and be patient. On your self pic you said you have been lifting for 1.5 years and 6 months serious training all natural. You have plenty of natural potential left before you should consider aas.

You are way to light to even consider doing a cyle of AAS. BIG mistake if you do. At your height, weight, and BF there is absolutely no need for it. Here is some diet advice to get you started on the right track. Follow the principles here and you will gain the weight you want without getting fat and not having to use AAS either.

Depends on your goal bro. Just like without gear, if you wanna lean out, you eat lean and clean. You wanna go for size and strength, you increase. It's all about the goal. Juice just speeds up the metabolic processes. All the juice in the world and if you eat like shit you'll look like shit.

Fellas below wanna know your age. Don't dodge the question or you'll only shoot yourself in the foot for future advice.

He'll knot your head up with that hammer of his, especially if you get off on a tangent with gear/cycle talk.

Definitely post your full stats. Age is really important around here.
I'm almost guessing your hesitance to gain any body fat is what's holding you at your size. The more muscle you pack on, the easier you burn fat. If you can't meet the caloric demands to grow, juice is going to be ineffective. It's not worth the potential damage to your endocrine system if you're not willing to eat. I understand if you're maybe competing in a weight restricted sport, but I'm not getting that vibe from your post.
At your body weight, 3500 calories a day would create some growth. But if you can't maintain that diet you'll lose anything you gain. Juice or not.
You should have several years training invested before deciding to cycle, but on too of that, you should eat like you're on cycle for a good year. Turn that diet into a lifestyle. And if you happen to be under 25, the publics answer is going to be just don't do it.

Yours was one of the more informative posts, thanks for that. And I apologize for no stats. I have them on my profile now along with a picture. And I know I'm a light person but I'm a very small framed guy. If I weighed 200 pounds like some of the other guys on here my height I would look wayyy to big.

Yes I really like having a lean look and that is what is preventing me from eating more. I will take some of the guys advice here and try and up my intake while maintainging a clean diet.

And no I'm not under 25.

Thanks again.

I saw you updated them on your profile. Your weight dropped to 132. That may have been a typo. Just letting you know.
Take advantage of winter time and the sweaters. It's the only thing winter is good for. You'll have no problems leaning back out.

not great advice dude .... sorry but mcdonalds???? cmon. to op go to bottom of forum pages and research weight gain ...you need a good, healthy weight gainer diet not aas. feel free to pm me i was 67kgs when i began got to 98kgs or so with no juice ...... cheers

send fr bro.

Nope was dead serious. But I excuse your ignorance.

I thought asking what a much smaller guy should try and eat as compared to a larger guy was a valid point, as did others. Obviously I wouldn't need as many calories as say someone that is 2 or 3 times my weight. What confuses you about this so much?

you want dense carbs for weight gain bro, big willy is rite about the eating , think, pasta, rice ,potatoes, oats, cereal, bread, milk ,steak , beef, chicken aswell as vegies and fruit especially banana , you need to be eating every two hours , get multi vitamins, work out your macros and calories and ramp them above maintenance you can add in a shake or 2 if you like ie 50.50 protein to carb ratio.....you can look into a pre workout with creatine if you like ....do all this and you will grow in conjuction with slow controlled heavy compound lifting and a bit of cardio....aas comes later if you decide to take the plunge you need the foundation before the tower can be built....pm if needed..no aas yet bro im sorry but it really is true and in your best intrests
