**ant_8u** · 06-02-2005, 07:50 PM

I have posted this thread in the diet forum but am yet to receive a response

Anyone think i'm eating too much/too little?

I currently weigh 185lbs

Is 643 grams of protein over kill?

How about my carbs and fat intake?

I'm trying to gain as much weight as i can before i decide when to start my cycle

Thanks to everyone able to offer advice

wow man, if i was eatin that much.. and im 226 like 10-11% bf..
my kidneys would be killin me..
1.5-2.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight is ideal..
i stick with 2g/pound of bodyweight.

Thought that might be the answer

If i stick to 2-2.5 grams of protein
Is there a maximum amount of calories i should consume?

I mean i couldn't eat 400 grams of protein per day and have a daily calorie consumption of 6,000

What would be acceptable in terms of total daily calories?

Thanks for the useful info mark

As i recall, i posted some info in a thread of yours to try and help you out a little while back

Glad to see you have taken the time to return the favour and help me out by sharing some of the vast knowledge you so obviously have

You know what they say though bro

Better to over-eat than under-eat

IMO, 2-2.5 is still a lot, unless you have an unusual metabolism or it's enhanced. Since you say you have not yet started a cycle, you may want to back up to 1.0-1.5g

If you want to bulk with minimal fat gain, you should consume about 500 calories per day more than your basal metabolic needs. Anything beyond that will likely result in deposits of bodyfat. It's up to you if that's a concern.
