    why don't you plug your stats into MFP and set it for .5 or one pound per week gain and eat to the number that it gives you?

    As far as macros they should be .65 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight; .45 grams of fat per pound of body weight, and fill in rest with carbs.

    Protein should be .8 grams per pound LEAN BODY MASS. Keep carbs below 120. Fill the rest with healthy fats.
