How many carbohydrates,protein and fats to take during bodybuilding?


i have been bodybuilding for a year now,although ihave gained alotta muscle and weight ...i want to know how much protein,carbohydrates and fat shud be taken in a day to keep a good balance and gain weight?

If you want to be serious about your weight and bodybuilding you will hold true to one thing... and that is counting calories. The only way you are going to know how much you need to maintain a weight is by knowing your base metabolic rate.

For me I have to eat approx 3,200 calories a day to maintain my weight. When I am bulking I usually add 500 calories. So I will be eating 3,700 calories until I stop gaining, then I'll add another 500 calories.

These calories for me are largely protein and carb contributers. However, I am not into the whole idea of cramming down carbs to put on weight cause all that does is add bodyfat.. not muscle.

Generally the rule of thumb is 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. I would assume if you are taking in 200-300 g of protein, then when bulking you should take in about 450-600 g of complex carbs(pastas, rice, whole wheat, fruits).

When it comes to fat make certain one thing is right.. You are taking in the polyunsaturated and monosaturated(sorry for spelling) fats. These are the healthy fats. I usually try to keep them at about 60-80 g a day when bulking.

Oh and one more thing. The main misconception people have is when trying to lose weight they think they have to cut out all fat from a diet. Fats are essential to bodybuilding and maintaining energy. People have to realize they must also cut their carbs down, increase water intake, and increase protein.

Hope that helped you out. Good luck.

1.5 grams of protein for every one pound u weigh
and triple that in carbs

if you've been bodybuilding for a year and have already made decent gains, then you should already know what it takes to keep and maintain a solid weight gain. just do the same thing you've been doing.

i also went to a gym like you but i enrolled
with the package of having a nutritionist. she will take good care of your eating habit. what to take, when to take and how much of it.
