FT Questions....

[patjohnhyde]

Hey Scott,

After taking 2 weeks at maintenence kcal to serve as a diet break after my cut, I'm looking to shift into a surplus this week for my 1st FT blast

I'm following the exact guidelines (nutrient timing etc) for the FT diet as outlined in the book for my maintenance intake

As I shift into my surplus, i'm thinking about creating the surplus through protein (starting at 1g/lb) and scaling it up till I'm gaining at a good rate while keeping BF% in check

Is there any real "cut off" point for the max amount of protein? I'm thinking of cutting it off at 400g (2g/lb) before adding carb and fat kcals

This is in line with DC training recommendations in creating the "blast furnace" and I was wondering if you have any new thoughts on this

Thanks !
