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 myself0

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

When gaining mass don't forget to focus on getting lots of carbohydrates as well.0
