Carb Cycling...

Splitting hairs comes of as you being a dick. You can deliver a message w out being a pompous asshole. Congrats bro, you've got a degree in nutrition. You also have a way as coming off as arrogant and condescending.

Its not just this thread, you tend to talk down to everyone in all threads. Not sure there is a need for that. Its just people helping people.

And there are definately alternative fats to animal fats that are a better alternative. Avocados for example. So when I said animal fats aren't the healthiest fats, thats not incorrect.

Im not arguing with you. Good day.

Relax, guys! You're both right.

Both types of fat are great. I can see where you're both coming from. Animals where the fat content is high in Omega-3 fats (i.e. goats, sheep, game meat and grass-fed cows) are great and should be a part of ANY serious BBer'ss diet, and those have been proven to be extraordinarily healthy and great. Those that are corn-fed still have Omega 3's, but much less, and they aren't as great (most Americans have enough Omega 6s and 9s in their diet, and that's why the gov recommends people cut back on animal fats. BBers though can disregard this).

No question that plant-sourced fats (almonds, pistachios, avocados) are also great. The health benefits of those are unquestionable.

Sometimes I think members should have to keep in their sig what they're currently cycling 😀

The only reason why I get so antsy about stuff like this is because I'm just tired of seeing the same misinformation be polluted throughout the public. It's not because I have some sort of personal vendetta against anyone. Especially not you, Johnnyboy. I'm sorry I came off as a dick and a douchebag. I am definitely not that person and I'd say that overall I'm a really friendly person.

Like I said it's just having to constantly deal with and correct the wrong information so consistently that become so absolutely frustrating I guess that's why my tone is so stern and condescending. My apologies I hope I didn't offend anyone and if so I hope that you guys can forgive me and look passed it.

I apologize as well. It's easy to get fired up over things you are passionate about.

Amen to that.

Op: sorry to derail your thread. I hope helpful information was provided in spite of the bickering.

It's all good boys... always worth the read. For a bulk what Macros you guys normally stick to.
I've been at 40/40/20 roughly for many months and even shredded down for summer using that
ratio.

I see some of my buddies doing 25/50/25 and getting some good results with that without too
much fat gain. What are everyone's thoughts on macros for bulking?

Bulking is definitely an opportunity to tinker with macros and see which works best for you. I'm on a bulk right now and my macros are approximately (and I say this because I am not always dead on this point) 50(P)/30(C)/20(F) and I have results that I feel are optimal for me. I'd suggest that you ensure most of your calories come from protein because getting a little bit too much protein is much better than not enough. When you have a bit too much it is simply converted to glucose molecules via gluconeogenesis so you'd basically just end up with a little bit more glucose than intended.

If glycogen were not a factor in efficient bulking I don't think I'd ever consume carbohydrates. They make me FEEL fat and I hate that feeling.

Fat is something we are to never exclude because it is very important in maintaining homeostasis and a normal, functional, and healthy body.

Hope this helps.

Goatfish has a solid answer. 40/40/20 is also pretty common, as you mentioned (did you experience hunger issues with carbs at that level?? Most people cut with much higher fats).
Protein should always be the highest one when you're bulking.

Hunger is pretty much a constant issue for me. I think my ghrelin hates me.
