Should Protein take a back seat to fat?

[KingMike]

Started upping the calories to gain some mass. Only at 2600 right now and find it hard to get fat in my diet becasue if I do not get 350 grams of protein I have no strength. With the 2 P/C meals, this only leaves a little fat in my diet but I feel fine.

since you have up your carbs a little more the need for fat will be less then if your carbs were lower, i'd make it about 15% of your diet

What are your stats, that many calories doesn't seem like nearly enough to bulk on or gain any mass...

elp. I am 6', 177 about 12-14%. I was at 2100 calories 2 weeksw ago and slowly adding until I reach 3000 with about 250 grams of carbs. Right now I take in 80 for breakfast and 75 via dextrose pwo. I am still doing cardio and I am going to cut it back to 1-2 times weekly, I am a serious endo who used to be 280lbs. so I still have to include a little. I plan to eat 2800-3000 a day with my weekly pig out fat free refeed on Mondays. It seems to have no effect on the scales but gives me mad strength for my leg and back workouts the following days.

That's more helpful... I see why you're calories are so low.

I have to refer your original question to someone more knowledgable, because quite honestly I"m not sure of the best plan of attack.

If you plan to do the ketogenic diet yes.
