I was just using a rough estimate.I've been doing LCHF w/carb loading since Sept. last year & counting calories since 2010.I know my macros bro.
You sure man??? your suggestion adds up to less then 1700 calories a day telling a kid to add weight.....
Tell me...no argument Brother...too much of that going on this site already.....I'm just adding up the math...if I'm wrong I'm wrong
400x6=2400cal
you posted
200 grams protein X 4=800
150 carbs X 4=600
30 grams fat X 9=270
=1670

Well I guess you got me there.lol.That's what I typically eat(except replacing carbs with fat).I would up it another 50 or so on the carbs & protein in his case.Nice catch Monty. :thumbup:
And I'm the mouth breather that went to School in Ohio......thank god for calculators I don't have enough fingers and toes....
It's all good bro.I love getting corrected.It helps me learn & keeps me modest.
For sure I have learned a shitload on here...
getting back to our boy the OP...to be 130 at that height can only be about 1650 a day MAX!!!
Nah he could eat 2200-2400,just got to up his cardio.
We got a good Bob and Ray routine going today...LOL
I meant RIGHT now he can only be eating 1650 to maintain 130...maybe not even that much, that is why it's crazy if someones says I can't gain weight...add up all the cals they think they are eating and it's ALWAYS 800-1000 cals under maintenance

Why all the guess work. Just donthe bmr calculation and add 500 cals to start and bump from there.
PHURIOUS
Yup I wish I had the problem of not eating too much.
That would be the way to do it.

If he lifts 4-5 times a week then the adjusted bmr is 2249.5 plus 500 cals surplus would be 2749.5 cals. Call it 2750 a day.

A lot of info here, OP. Just remember no one heres bashing you.... at least ill speak for myself and say im most definitely nnot. Take whats been offered and apply it. Start out trying to hit a solid 4 meals a day and shoot for 2000 cals at first. Your stomach is a muscle and youre going to have to train it to handle the increase in food. Slowly add in extra cals and find your limit. Then add another meal.

Slow increments is key. Track what youre currently eating in a day and move up slowly. Dont be in a rush. Building your physique takes time.

If you legit beleive your a hardgainer then your very lean i mean skinny guy with defined abs because if your training hard and burning it off ypur shredded cause if not that means you just eating at your bodys set point and not training hard enough. If your still holding bodyfat I dont want too hear hardgainer at all. The guys I refered too are amature bodybuilders who look 4 weeks out in the offseason and eat junk meals just too hit calorie numbers you go out too a buffet with them and what they eat looks like a post contest binge and the next day there fuller amd harder its insane .

If your small and soft looking that means your eating at maintainance and not lifting enough or getting too little protien but getting too many calories from simple carbs amd fats

And also the amount of protien you can synthesize and glycogen you can store at your weight needs an amount of insulin easily produced by you own body so an extra will only and ONLY cause fat storage in your case so double bad idea cause if you havent learned too eat right and train the gainz you get from insulin will be easy as hell too keep and youll be trying like hell too loose them (all fat)
