Warning - I am a pretty detail oriented person, so the article is relatively lengthy.

I hope everyone is doing good, I just finished my first cycle about a month and a half ago, currently just lifting consistently and getting ready for my next cycle in about another month and a half. After doing my first cylce, I realized that a lot of "The first cycle" is learning how your body is going to react and learning just the ENTIRE process it's self. Ie: Injecting, lifting on the juice, days to inject, etc.JM Family
Now that I have finished my first cycle, I have to say, I was pleased with the results, but it was also a VERY humbling experience because it showed me how truly ignorant I am to the process. With that being said, I have tightened up a TON on my work out regimen. Now it's time to tighten up on my diet and be strict with it now, that way when I start my next cycle, I have it all dialed in and there's a lot less stress/confusion involved.
My first cycle was a Test Enth only cycle, 500mg Test EW, 2 Shots a week. My second cycle is going to be the same as the first, seeing as how I did get good results from it.
This time however; I know that I can get EVEN better results be being strict on the diet and actually calculating my macro's, there's not point in increasing my use of juice until I have all my other disciplines dialed in first.My confusion with this area is a bit drastic, I know little about counting macro's, I have done some research and have a good idea how many calories I should be eating each day, however; I want your guys' recommendations. I anticipate most of the stuff I am seeing online is all for people that ARE NOT utilizing juice. So I need to know what my break down should be while on and while off juice
I weigh 170lbs currently, I'm 5'6, working out at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day. I also do door to door sales, So I am active for the better portion of the day, I would anticipate just at work I walk probably 3-4 miles. I have read several things that indicate I should be eating a surplus of 500 calories to bulk, but is that generally enough for me to continually be putting on weight?
The information I have received from my sources are:
Macro nutrient break down:
40% carbs, 30% Fat, 30% protein - Is this accurate for both ON and OFF Juice?
Current maintenance Calorie intake @ 170lbs, is roughly 2380.
To Bulk @ 170lbs I should be eating about 3000 calories - Is this Accurate for both ON and off Juice? I read one article on here that said calorie intake while Juicing should be much higher, such as 4000 - 5000 to bulk.
*Note* I am in a bulking phase and my next cycle (Test Enth 500mg EW) Is also going to be a bulking cycle. I won't cut until I am 205lbs - 210 lbs.
I have read that a breakdown for the macro's its self is as follows: ( Keep in mind this is @ my weight of 170lbs)
Fat Intake: 0.45g X Body Weight = 76.5G of fat x 9 calories per Gram of fat = 688.5 Calories
Protein Intake: 1g X Body Weight = 170G of Protein x 4 calories per gram of protein = 680 Calories
Carb intake: Fill the rest of calorie intake up with carbs = 407.8G of carbs x 4 calories per gram of carbohydrates = 1631.5 Calories
Combine totals: 688.5 + 680+ 1631.5 = 3,000 Calories
Does that break down seem accurate? And does that also seem accurate WHILE I am juicing, or just while I am off a cycle?
Any recommendations, help, etc is SO appreciated. I am a bit lost on the subject and would love some knowledge from you gentlemen! Thanks a ton!
