When bulking up do you take in more protein or carbs?

[b fold the truth]

I've had over 600g carbs today...350ish protein. No idea on fats but I spared nothing. Squatting in the morning.

When you guys say you do a 50/30/20 pro/fat/carb is that pet meal?? And how many meals??

For bulking, I would take in more carbs. The type and amount of carbs would depend upon metabolism, work level, and goals.

Its all about balance you can only take in so many carbs/protein at once. Your body doesnt store protein, so any excess protein that isnt used is pissed out of your system. And your body can only store around 500g of carbs in glucose form...after that its stored as fat. Thats essentially why eating little and often is better for you-among other reasons. Try and have around 30/30/40 (protein/monounsaturated fat/carbs) as a general rule in your diet.

Carbs, when you're in a calorie surplus, protein doesn't have to be as high as when cutting.
Combo of carbs/fat for extra calories. Cuts down on cost of food too.

Carbs
run carbs at about 2 g x LBs (body weight)
protein at 1 - 1.5g per lb

^^ Clean bulk.
