Howdy. I have a question about scaling up your macros when you are eating more than maintenance. If you want to eat 30% more than maintenance, do you increase each of protein, fat, and carb intake each by 30%? Is there some other allocation strategy when going above maintenance, for instance due to hard limits on protein or some such.
Thanks

What limit?
Only limit I know of is $$$. Tri-Tip can get expensive.

30% …
Bit much. More calories may result in more weight gain but at a point it’s just more fat gain as a percentage of total gains. Probably better off with 10-15% more than maintenance
Yes…
1g-1.5g protein/Lb of body weight. There’s no hard limit but no advantage to exceeding these levels if already in a surplus. Perhaps if you are exceeding these levels you’re not getting enough of other macros.
Fats is a bit contentious. Some people go 0.3g / Lb, 20% of calories or some people use a set number.
Fill in the rest of your macros with carbs. Yummy and provide training fuel.
So unless there’s been significant changes in bodyweight up carbs mostly.
