When bulking, protein remains key for muscle growth, but you don't need as much since carbs help spare protein. High-carb diets let your body use carbs for energy, allowing protein to focus on muscle building. Conversely, in low-carb situations, your body uses protein for energy, so you'd need more protein intake to ensure sufficient muscle repair and growth.
