I think this is perhaps a question that should be asked MORE often. People seem to think that steroids are the magic bullet and that they can slack off with diet and training. Nothing can be fuirther from the truth. To use steroids correctly, you should be near your natural limit of muscle growth. That never makes things easier. You will have to eat even more to gain muscle, 25 calories per pound of bodyweight and 1.5-2 grams of protein per pound over 6-7 meals daily.

If you are dieting to lose fat, that’ is another matter. You should deprive yourself of calories while still keeping protein as high as possible, in the 1.5-2g/lb range. In such a state you WILL NOT gain ANY muscle. The use of Anabolic steroids in such conditions is only the preservation of lean mass while trying to lose fat with a catabolic condition.
