| | | Quick Carb Question I'm 5'11", 150 pounds.
On my bulking diet (about 3200 calories), what would be a reasonable amount of carbs for a day?
I know for protein I want 1.5-2 x Lean Body Mass, but what about carbs? Is 250 too many? |

| | | Well if your eating 1.2 - 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, and your fat intake should be 20-30% of your total caloric intake, the remainder of your calories to achieve your target intake would come from carbs. |

| | | exactly what falco said. you know what your protein intake should be. you know that 25-30% of yoru total calories should come from fat (about 88g of fat is 25% calories of 3200)...so make up the remainder in carbs.
Typcial carbs for bulking is 2-3g per pound of lean bodyweight, so 250g sounds entirely reasonable, if not a little low. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
