My name is Andrew, helicopter technician. Trying to gain muscle and a better physique. Weigh 142 lbs, taking in 160 grams of protein per day. I do a full body workout 4 days per week with only 1 hour of cardio per week.

    Hi Andrew, I believe 140g should be enough at the beginning, considering your weight. High carbs before and after training. And also give your body enough energy, I'd say, at least 500 calories beyond your "total daily energy expenditure" (TDEE). Keep strong!
