Uncertain about diet ratio

    I'm an ectomorph and I want to change my diet to 40:30:30.

    Before I have not been so "scientific" with my diet. ie. I just ate loads of cals with protein in each meal and veg.

    I will need to eat 4k calories a day. I'm just looking here and 30% fats is 1200cals. Now that seems an awful lot.

    I know poly and mono are good for you but 1200 does seem alot.

    Also @ 40% carbs do you thing 1600 cals is enough given I'm over 6ft, 168lbs, very skinny. I have very fast metabolism also.


    Also 30% protein would be 1200cals but I want to take 1.5grms per lb to make up 252grms in total. How do I work out my ratios given I want this much protein?

    When youre trying to gain weight, carbs will be your best friend. Try doubling that amount. At least.
