I want to start the MANS diet and THT to bulk up. I know that my carbs should probably be around 30g a day give or take a little and that the rest of my calories should come from fat and protein.

I was wondering what percentage of the rest of my diet should be made up of fat and protein ? Lets say, just for example, i eat 150 calories of carbs a day, and to get up to the calories i need to eat i still need to eat 2,000 calories more....how many of these calories should be from fat and protein, is their a limit for fat?


Thanks for the help

Carbs & protein are 4 cal per gram, fat is 9 cal per gram so on mans you would :

Carbs 30g * 4 = 120 Cal
Protein = body weight in lbs * 1g * 4 = x cals
Fat = ( Total cals - 120 - x ) = Fat cals

There is a guide for this on the muscle hack website. Use The Glad article to find your calorie intake. Good luck

Thanks ! And i saw the other article on caloric intake but i wasnt sure if it it was only for GLAD or applied to MANS to which i now realize it does. Just to make sure though i use the formula you said, then find my caloric intake and make sure im at least eating equal with my caloric intake and up to 100 calories more...?

Thanks again for all the help
