Hey Jack,
In reality the same principles apply to both natural and assisted, you really want to take it steady to protect muscle.
Dr Andrew Chappell did some extensive research (using competitive natural athletes as the cohort) into methods of dieting. Check it out, but to sum it up, diet for enough time so you don’t really ever have to see a rate of loss greater than 1% of your bodyweight, keep carbohydrates as high as possible to protect performance and muscle fullness.
I talked about my approaches at length on my guest appearance on the U.K. Pro Muscle Podcast too.
If you have any other queries in the future just let me know or start another thread ?

Apologies for the delay on replying, iv genuinely just seen this. I can’t thank everyone enough for sharing their advice, my first year of competing AJ gave out awards and iv followed you on Instagram ever since. Means alot for guys and girls to take the time out to share advice with me, very humbled by this as it was my first post on the forum. Will take everything on board for sure! Thanks again everyone ?

No worries Jack! Pleasure to meet you back then 🙂

man you are looking nuts already-well in! I find everyone on here inspiring but when I see what you’re achieving naturally, it really helps me when it comes to my own goals. how is your cardio/step count looking on non training days at moment mate?

Just figure I’d share my two cents. Anabolics make overall nitrogen requirements lower in a couple of ways. One, makes our body’s more efficient utilizing nitrogen and also improves recycling of aminos, so we essentially lose less as well. So imo naturals need more based on body weight, however, naturals don’t get very heavy compared to enhanced guys so in the end the enhanced guys end up having a higher intake.
Of course this is a science perspective :). Most people go with higher just to be safe. Myself included.

Thanks for this mate!

To add I may actually say.
AAS allow more to be utilised when growing.
AAS should allow you to go lower protein during diet without muscle loss.
