more carbs or protein when bulking?

[javaguru]

Absolute calories are the most important factor, 40-40-20 has worked for me in the past but once I get my 240-300 grams of protein more carbs are better because they're cheaper than protein and just as effective, since I've already met my protein allowance. However, some are less insulin sensitive and a greater protein intake will help minimize some of the fat gain for an insulin insensitive person.

You will never grow up with 40/40/20 diet...If you are bulking you need to keep your carbs 60-65 % and up to 20 % carbs ....I will repeat...you will never grow up on 40/40/20 .......

Okay...I guess the muscle I've gained is some sort of sci-fi hologramatic illusion. Damn. I was just getting to the point where I thought I looked decent too. Thanks for setting me straight.

If you are alredy chubby you should go to check you blood shugar level.When bulking i can strongly recomend to everybody to see the doctor.If you are not chubby you dont have to worry about your carbs too much becouse when bulking you will have to lift heavy and need some more cabs to keep your energy level up.
Good luck

I personally do better with 45/45/10. People often forget that in oreder to build muscle, you have to have protein. If muscle is truly what you are trying to build. If you are trying to gain weight in general, just eat whatever the hell you want.

Every person is different and depending upon their age, body composition etc, bodies respond differently to different diets.

When bulking I do much better w/ carbs being about 60%, there's no way i could have more protein than carbs when bulking, and even if one could most of the protein would be converted into carbs and used for energy anyway. So might as well keep carbs high so each could fulfill its purpose.

hey... what's the final verdict?
cos i did a search and it seems half the people say you should get more protein and the other side say eat more carbs
im confused

More carbs!! Atleast 60% of carbs! carbs spare protein, so more carbs you eat, more protein is getting into muscles.


BUT! Some people respond poorly to carbs (fatness), so only THEN you should eat more protein than carbs!

You dont need lots of protein unless you eat lots of carbs!
