Jesus bro. That's a massive amount of carbs for your size. Very poor food choices IMO. Also, where the hell are your fats? It's no wonder why you're gaining fat my friend.

Take a look at the sticky up top for some ideas on how to bulk. Your diet needs to be totally revised.

I keep reading i need to take in 4500 calories a day. I'm having a hard time keeping the calories up and lowering carbs and sugar. How many carbs, protein and fat should I be consuming?

[1buffsob]

Why do you think you need to consume 4500kcals a day? That's way overboard.

As for what you should be consuming, did you read the bulking stickies up top as I suggested?

[Mchorp]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by stickies at the top. I don't see anything that refers to bulking. CAn you be more specific?

Thanks
