caloric intake

[jkphipsi]

im 175...6ft 1...im tryin to bulk up..was wondering bout how many calories i should take in per day during the summer because i will be painting houses 5 days a week and that puts a strain on the body. right now im at around 3000 per day with at least 200 grams of protein. any input would be great

my best gains have been at 20cal * bodyweight... for you that'd be about 3500cal make sure that you eat that much every day.

protein is fine at 200g IMO. up the complex carbs and healthy fats a little to get that extra 500 cal.
