How much to up calories while ON

[freag34]

I've noticed that my maintenance diet is about 19-20 calories / lb body weight. What should I bump that up to while on and wanting to gain 1lb lBM/week? Up protein only, or carbs + protein? Make a diff on vs off?

Right now doing: 300g protein/day, 300g carb, 120g fat. Carbs are almost completely after my workout, and so a lot less carbs on non-workout days.

Right now 182lbs, 7% BF. Starting EQ/Winny cycle soon. EQ 400/wk 1-10, Winny 50/ED wk 8-12. Want to go for +10lbs LBM, keep fat to +2lbs or less.

Something like: 400g protein, 400g carb, 120g fat = 4300 cals - sound good? Calories 23xlb bodyweight?
