That's a girls diet. if you are bulking your going to need 4 to 5 times that many carbs.

Sounds more like a cutting diet to me. Aren't you hungry? I would be.

He could use more carbs, yes, but it has nothing to do w/bulking and gaining lean mass, nor it being boy/girl. I've added lean mass w/ a high calorie keto type approach before, and carbs in excess, thinking they will help you get bigger, will help you get fatter. Carbs are needed for muscular growth, but only at certain times. Sugar doesn't build muscle, protein and amino acids do.

It's no issue, he'll be on SwoledUp2 aka "OnSwole" very soon, so I'll have him backed like the 6 and 8 on a crap table!

I said girls diet since his protein is more like 190 g not 240.

Hahahaha Swole... you crack me up brother. Actually I have been talking with someone who competes and I've been learning a good diet of high protein, moderate amounts of fats (good fats) and carbs just in the right times will produce better gains and more of them than excessive carbs. Totally a true eye opening ordeal for me.

Nope... I have talked with him at times and consider him a very knowledgable man, but have yet to get on any of his programs. I am being trained by a female competitor... yes a woman. She really knows her **** and have learned alot from her in the past couple of weeks.
