is this right way to start?

[e1ys1um]

in your experiances is this the right method to go by when working out your daily intake:

cals 15 per pound of b/w
pro 1.5 per pound
carbs 2.0 per pound

so for me at 11.7 stone (161pound) that would be:

cals 2415
pro 240
carbs 320

i know the cals are below the rda but have been living on about 2000 and been constant weight for a long time so would prob make a differance to start bulking and adjust as weight increases.

any advice welcome, cheeers

[Resurrected]

2g protein per Kg bodyweight
4g CHO per Kg bodyweight

And don't forget the fats. YOU NEED FAT!

The above figures are just a guide and you need to adjust upwards or downwards.

depends really on how fat/lean you are at present and how well you can tolerate carbs

I think protein as Resurrected stated should be at least 2g per kg.

Fat should be at least 70g for your size, then it depends whether you want to fill the rest of your calories from Carbs or Fats???

Not a bad post from you for once G

2g/kg protein minimum
Minimum of 15% kcals from Fat, i'd shoot for 20-30 as a start.

Then as Gareth says, choose if you are a carb hater or fat lover

15kcals/lb prob won't put muscle on you though in the long term. Start at 2500kcals and you WILL have to increase it.
