Diet:
I tend to gain weight around 2700-3000 depending on activity level
Aim for 250g/protein a day- carbs/fat numbers vary depending on activity.

good luck.. get rid of the gatorade though. its all sugar. drink water during your workout.. you won't get a sugar high that way.

only newbs drink gatorade

Subbed. Good luck, and I agree with Steve about the Gatorade. I'd lose it, since its basically sugar water

 

[Buildingup24]

Thanks guys. And will do on the Gatorade.

i drink gatorade post workout... i think there is nothing wrong with it then, a little sugar is nothing to be alarmed by... if he was cutting thats one thing,...
