How many cals needed for bulking ?

[Yeo]

I weigh 135lbs and am trying to put on weight, I've heard that you need to take your weight and times it by 15-20 so that would mean that I would need 2700 cals a day. So what are the best ratios of protein/carbs/fat to eat ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the Mr. X stickies at the top of the page on bulking, all you need to know.

I tried that bro and it refers me to massmonsters.com, I have registered but they don't send me an email confirmation so I can't access the site.

135x20=2700

2700 and bulking, Id say 40p/40c/20f I am not saying that this is the best, but t seems popular.

O.K. thats

1080 cals from Protein
1080 cals from Carb
540 cals from Fat

1080/4 =270gr Protein
1080/4 =270gr Carb
540 /9 =60 gr Fat

you want 6 meals per day. So per meal:

270/6 = 45gr Pro
270/6 = 45gr Carb
60 /6 = 10gr fat


I am no Mr.X, but I think this would work fine.

Thanks Hansel, that's what I was thinking of doing, I currently get 200g of protein a day and 78 of those are from Nlarge, I'll try and boost that though. So 40/40/20 seems to be the way to go then, anyone else got any suggestions ?
