so im planning my upcoming lean bulk cycle that ill be starting in the next few wks. i usually start at around 3800 cals with ~350g protein and increase up slowly with accompanying weight gain (usually f and c, pro stays where its at), and it usually ends around 4200-4300 cals ed.
anyways, ive seen it discussed on here and other boards that some ppl like to replace some of their protein intake with EAAs and this intrigues me. eating 350g protein ed is a chore and makes me constantly feel bloated, gives me indigestion and just all around sucks lol. so what im thinking is doing something more like 250-275g pro and then replacing the rest with ~30g EAAs as according to what ive read, every 10g EAAs equals 40g protein (can anyone confirm this?), so 30g EAAs = 120g pro, still keeping me in the 350-400g protein range i want to be in, and i will make up the other cals with c and f.
has anyone done this? if so, how were the results? the most important thing to me is getting the most out of my cycle, and if i can make the eating burden less with EAAs, itd be great. constantly being full and feeling like shit is to me the shittiest part of this lifestyle, but i do it cuz i dont wanna short change my gains. but if the gains are the same or better doing it this way, id be super happy. but if the results are shittier, ill just man up and eat all the protein like always.
my idea is to take 10g EAAs intrawo, then do 5g EAAs about 15 min prior to my other 4 meals over the course of the day (ive heard this is the best way to take them since the leucine in it will kickstart pro synth for the protein u consume in the meal).
my current stats r 5'10, 200 lbs, 12-13%. my cycle will be test e/tren e at 700/400 for 10-12 wks with a DNP PSMF in the beginning while the oils build up to get down to 190 lbs ~10% before beginning the lean bulk part.
any input is appreciated, thanks!
