I've been tracking my diet with FitDay for about 3 days now, which certainly isn't long term, but here's what I'm noticing:
I get about 2500 calories a day (I'm still gaining believe it or not)
I'm getting about 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight in protein
I'm getting about 2 grams per pound of bodyweight in carbs
and I'm getting 50-70 grams per day of fat.
I'm 29, 6'2 and 199 pounds. I have been steadily gaining. My issue the past couple of months is body fat - I am in the 15-16% body fat range. I can see I need more protein, as all sources point to 1 gram per pound for my protein intake, but do I need to CUT DOWN on carbs, or just ADD protein? I want to continue to gain muscle without putting on more fat. I guess thats always the goal.
Anybody got any tips? I tend to be ecto, but I have put on some great weight in the last 2 years (about 65 pounds, approx. 30-40 pounds of that muscle)
