    lean mass gain critique on my diet

    6 meals combine;
    cals 2915
    protein 486.8,
    carbs 150's,
    fat 17

    chicken breast 250 gram x 6
    egg white 7 oz x 6
    750 gram of sweet potato.

    is my carb too low?
    i have been told that "Too low a carbohydrate intake can cause your body to catabolize lean muscle for it's energy needs"
    however; i am having 486.8 in synergy; will this amount of carb cause my body to catabolize lean muscle with 486.8 protein intakes??

    Low carb will not cause the muscles to be catabolized if you have high amounts of protein and sufficient overall caloric intake, the protein will be used as a energy source.
