How many calories a day?

[ximor]

If a person 6'1 in the 165 weight class is bulking whats the norm caloric intake per day?

I also am wondering what i can do to enhance my appetite.

since youre tall and skinny i would assume your a hard gainer. if so, bodyweight x 15 = calories needed daily to bulk.

165 x 15 = 2475

so just eat 2500 cals, do a 40/40/20 split and you should be gaining weight in no time.


also, to enhance your appetite, just start eating more, you stomach will expand allowing you to eat larger meals over time. it is best to eat 5 to 6 times a day to keep your body fed and to keep your metabolism working.

I use this as a general guideline:

10 - 12 x BW to cut
13 - 15 x BW to maintain
16 - 18 x BW to bulk...

So that'd be ~3000 calories...
