Reply With QuoteIf you want to gain weight, you should place more emphasis on carbohydrates. Emphasis is placed on protein when you are cutting and carb intake is lower, therefore more protein should be ingested to minimise protein wastage and to prevent glucogenesis (protein being converted to glucose instead of being used for muscle repair). Personally I bulk with 1.5g of protein per pound, and 1g of carb per pound, and make up for the rest of the cals with EFAs and 5-8g of saturated fat (derived from coconut oil, red meat, whole eggs, heavy whipping cream) but that's because I'm EXTREMELY carb-sensitive.
Gauge your sensitivity to carbs and assess how it affects your body, then adjust protein intake accordingly. Typically the recommendation for carbs is 2 g per pound of BW, I think. Make sure you're taking in enough fat, too, to ensure an optimal hormonal environment.
Peace.

Have in mind that if you consume more protein and want to continue to gain weight, you will have to consume more Fat.
1g of proteing burns 1.3g of fat , It is recommended that you use vegetable FAT... the easiest one that I have found is Cocunut Milk.
Mixes well with pinnaple juice (not from concentrate) and you can add a bannana to the mix.
Dont rely on powder for more than 30% of your protein.Last edited by maze; 11-06-2003 at 08:31 AM.
