I think it all depends on the individual and your metabolism,
Both fast and slow metabolism groups need to get an adequate amount of protein(2g per pound of bodyweight while bulking), but as for carbs and everything else, I've seen that the person typically succeptable to gaining fat, has to be careful while bulking up, or it could get out of hand.
While the typically lean person can eat damn near anything he wants throughout the day, still keeping half ways lean in the offseason and will have no problem cutting up when its time to get to work,
I stay around 235 11-12% offseason, while have a buddy at around 265 roughly the same bodyfat,
I eat about 1500 more cals than him daily and my abs still show much better,
It depends on the individual as to caloric requirements in the offseason,
some people are lucky
oh yeah, juice helps
