Hey Dave, are you taking any supplements with your regime and diet? Have you tried a Weight Gainer replacement?

Let us know!

Dave,

Most people find that when their protein intake is 1.5 - 2.0 grams per KG (yes KG not per pound) they build more muscle.

Alot of bodybuilders go for the ratio of 30% Protein, 50% Carbs & 20% Fat. If you are eating 3200cals a day then this would be as follows: -

960cals Protein (240 grams per day)
1600cals Carbs (400 grams per day)
640cals Fat (71.11 grams per day)

Or if eating 1500cals a day it would be: -

450cals Protein (112.5 grams per day)
750cals Carbs (187.5 grams per day)
300cals Fat (33.33 grams per day)

As you can see the more you eat/weigh the more the needs for Protein and other nutriants, but the figures remain the same (30%, 50% & 20%).

All the best!

There is some great advice here.

Whenever my training partner is bulking he tries for a good:

200gr protein
300gr carbs
50gr fat

He sometimes pushes to 75gr fat is he thinks he needs it. He is about your weight and really pushes hard when he eats!

Got to agree with TJ. 2 grms per kg of body weight is spot on, alot of people eat far too much protien when they go by pounds.
