regaining lost muscle

[regainweight]

Over the past few years i recently had to loose weight but most of my weight was muscle. I went from 120 to 182 in 4 years. Now i'm 5'11 140. Today i've started my eating to gain weight plan, earlier this week i started my lifting to gain muscle plan. Today i'm in the middle of eating, 250 grams of carbs, 200 grams of protein and 150 grams of fat. I want to gain at least 30 pounds this year or more if that's possible. The foods i eat are, steak, pork chops, chicken, peanut butter, almost all kinds of fruit and veggies. How many calories would i have to eat to gain 1 pound a week? And how much water should i drink a day?

you should be drinking 3.3 litres of water a day, more when you exericise.
as for your carb load, i cant help at the moment, but if i get time i will workout the figures and get back to you

i stand corrected, ideally you should be drinking 2.9 litres of water a day, females should aim for 2.2 litres, but more fluid intake during training or exercise

you should dring even 4 liters of water daily, and 250 grams of proteins, but not much carbo, it works great for me
