    Just a simple question, nothing in depth at all just looking for peoples one word opinion on the following

    Male
    22 years old
    5ft 4
    currently 58kg (127lb)
    10-12% bodyfat
    active sport science student
    lifting on a 3-day split routine trying to increase weights with good form where possible
    minimal cardio only what is required on my uni course

    Calorie intake:

    2400 calories
    300g carb
    140g pro
    70g fat
    25g sat fat

    based on just the facts above would you say this will lead to....

    good steady weight gain?
    too much?
    not enough?

    Thanks

    Possibly a little fast, depending on how long you've been training, however, maybe not such a bad thing as you are quite light!

    Im taking a different approach now, used to be scared if i was eating 100 calories over or under what i should, which is pathetic! my approach now is more life's about experiments, if i put on a bit of fat then im knowledgeable to know what to do about it.
