Does Nietzsche answer what "the good" actually is?

Friedrich Nietzsche gives examples of different stuff people thought "the good" might be, and refers to the idea of slave and noble morality, but he doesn't seem to answer what "good" actually is.

He seems to think broadly that it's what makes you happy, or keeps your spirit healthy, hence all the references to sickness and etc. But does that mean, according to his thinking, anything that nurtures your spirit to happiness/health, even the asceticism he dislikes, can be "the good"? Or does he just believe asceticism is overprescribed, given that he says that one should practice self-control as opposed to asceticism, to become more powerful?

Does Nietzsche provide a clear theory on what "the good" actually is?
