Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I am about to get started on a pretty good cycle of gear, and my goal is to gain as much muscle as possible as well as lose a much fat as I can. The first month and a half or so I will be putting on most of the mass and for next month I want to try to cut up. So my question is , How much protein should I try to take in per day. I am 6' 200 lbs and about 10% bodyfat. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks
How much protein do I really need?

400g a day protein and 125g daily carbs to grow and not get fat at your weight

About a gram 1/2 of protein per pound of body weight. That would be 300 grams if your 200 pounds.

When I´m bulking up, I try to do it properly and not worry so much about fat. I eat as much clean food as possible(until I almost puke) during my cycle and adjust the food intake as I come off. Fat can always be burned afterwards and this way I don´t have to wonder if I could´ve gotten bigger gains.

if you have a fast metabolism, you can eat alot of carbs without worry
My metabolism is about average, I can lose fat quickly on a very low carb diet but of course i lose size and strength also. I have a pretty good cycle going and want to gain in size as much as possible. How much cardio would you suggest to keep my bf in check while I am taking in so much extra protein. Also the phrase "clean food " gets fuzzy, when posts refer to it. What exactly do they mean by "clean"?

clean food means no ice cream,cheesecake and other high glycemic items-if you are bulking, forget cardio for the time being
