i'm trying to gain more weight here, WITHOUT steroids; i'm 19 years old. i'm taking in at least 1,000 calories in the morning before work at 8:15 and making it up to 1200 by noon with an energy drink; to add my 500 calorie lunch into the mix at 1 or 1:30. i get home and i eat ridiculous amounts of food. for example, last night was 70g protein, 85g carbs, 950 calories plus whatever butter added to certain things. that meal was at 6:15 and at 9:00 i ate a high protein shake estimated at 55g protein, 65G carbs, 1,000 calories. carbs from strawberries haven't been added..
here's my recap.
215g protein, 352g carbs, 3300 calories.
i'm slowly working my way up into the 3250-4250 range of carbs and trying to gain weight; but i do so much cardio from walking for 9 hours and lifting heavy shit all day; should i increase any part of my diet?
if so, i might find it hard. but it would be nice to know.
thanks for anybody's help.
i've also been looking at all the different types of amino acids in foods and i'm starting to take that more into consideration since they're such a big deal in protein powders.
