So I just sign up for this today and my goal is to gain muscle mass. My goal is 1 pound per week. Im 210lbs 6'4" 8.9%bf 26 years old male. It says that I need to consume 129 grams of protein per day to meet my goal?? That cant be right considering if my goal is to gain muscle mass. I already know i need to at least consume 1-1.5 grams of protein per 1lb of body mass. That comes out to around 210-320 grams of protein. Everything else seems about right as far as fats,carbs,calories, etc is concerned. What should I do?? Can anybody help? Im stuck!

    MFP is very low in protein but you can custom your macro. I use 40/30/30 myself

    You can choose custom goals and adjust your macro percentage to suit your needs.

    BTW nice SHF 1MR tank.

    When gaining mass don't forget to focus on getting lots of carbohydrates as well. :)
