How Much Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Do I Need?

For people trying to gain mass, we typically don’t tend to give them precise percentages of carbohydrates and fats and protein they should eat each day.

This is because, technically speaking - there is not overly great deal of research to support a set macronutrient ratio as such.

However, that is not to suggest that you can get all your calories from carbohydrates and not expect to get fat.

Ultimately - weight gain is a product of - EATING MORE CALORIES (500-1000) THAN YOU BURN.

We also want to KEEP. IT. SIMPLE; in my experience as a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist - trainees are much more likely to succeed (and start) if the program is as simple as possible but still provides noticeable results.

Here are are some guidelines for macronutrients that you should follow-

A daily intake of 1.2 – 1.7 g per pound/kilogram of body mass.

Just multiply your current weight by 1.2 and 1.7.
