What percent more Calories needed while on cycle VS off?

[Stocks_and_Steroids]

My question to be more specific is:
What percentage more calories have to be eaten above maintainence just to maintain lean bodyweight while on a cycle VS while not on a cycle?
So assume I need 2000 calories normally to mainatin 190 pounds.
While on a cycle I could roughly need 2600 just to maintain.
Assuming AAS increase the body need for more calories. How much more above maintainence are needed to stay the same weight/lean weight. I know everyone will be different. But just getting some estimates here. I know while I am on, I can eat out a few times a week and eat dirty and still get leaner. As long as I keep up workouts and still maintain eating 8 times a day.

Damn dude you only need 2k calories to maintain at 190lbs?

When I was cutting years ago even at 178lbs I was losing weight on 2500 calories a day.

Plus you're eating 8 times a day about 300 calories? Huh?

I'd go up to 4000 a day easy at 190 if you want to gain.

AAS will help you keep muscle mass while running a calorie deficit. There is no absolute need to consume more cals if your goal is to maintain a weight. However since AAS helps build muscle the idea is that you have to consume enough resources for you body to actually build additional mass if thats your goal.
