QUESTIONS ABOUT MUSCLE MASS
I currently weigh 130 pounds and am 3'7 I want to get up to about 150, How much protein, carbs, and calories, should i take in everyday?
start with a claorie total of 15 x bw (130 x 15 = 1950 cals a day) split up evenly (33% each) for carbs, protein (165 grams a day) and fats (75 grams a day) spread this over 6 meals (divide eah by 6) and off you go
protein - red meat, chicken, turkwey, eggs, milk, powder, fish, sardines, tuna
carbs - rice, pasta, bread, cerials, fruits, veg, salad
fats - avocados, fish, sardines, tuna, oils (olive, safflower, fish, flaxseed), nuts/slamonds etc (all unsalted)

i don't really include the others as i wouldn't want someione to think that they can get there daily requirments from eating cheese and legumes cos they couldn't...not say thaey can't be included but try eating enough legyumes to get 20 grams of protein at one sitting and see how you go and how long it would take you
