Hi,
I have recently just started doing weights again & I need some help with sorting out my nutrional intake. I have gone from doing heaps or strength & endurance (boxing) cardio workouts with a little weights afterwards to mainly only doing weights.
Taking into account I am 85kg @ 11% body fat, 186cm tall & age 30.
I am currently comsuming around 2000 calories per day based on:
2-2.5g of protein per kg of body weight. Usually around 200gms
2-3 g of carbs per kg of body weight. Usually around 220-250gms
0.5-0.75g of fat per kg of bodyweight. Usually around 40-50gms
I eat fairly well. Every 2.5 - 3 hours. Lots of fibre.
The supps I am taking right now are:
Pre workout: Acetyl L-Carntine
Postworkout: ON 100% Whey Gold Standard + Extreme Carbs
During the Day & Night Protein: Max's Muscle growth GTE
During workout: SciVation Extend + Endura
Another question: How much protein/carbs do you think is required postworkout? I have heard conflicting reports. I have been having 36g Protein + 42g Carbs. Is this enough or too much?
I am a fairly active person & my weekly training consists of 3 days per week weights, Army PT & weekend running.
My short term goal is to put on 5kg by Christmas.
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers
