Thread: acceptable distribution? do i need more protein?

hey, jodi is probably gonna be all over this one, but im curious as to my distribution of grams of energy sources for my bulk. i've got 7 meals throughout the day, and the numbers look like this (im 175 lbs and best described as an ectomorph, though not AS skinny):

cals: 3375
fat: 94 g
carb: 351 g
prot: 273 g

the day starts off with a carbalicious meal though for energy, with 90 g of carbs and only 28 g protein, but later theres more protein and less carbs. right after my workout i have a post-workout shake (recover-x) and then 1.5 hours later a meal w/ 52 g carbs and 30 g protein.

is this an acceptable ratio? what numbers should be changed (if any)? i HAVE noticed, though, that i need to take in at LEAST 3000 calories to make any decent gains.

those macros like fine. you have plenty of protein for the amount of LBM that you have and ample carbs for energy...
