Unfortunately when bulking up a little bit of a belly is inevitable.But if done properly you can maximize mass gain and limit fat gain.I suggest doing a search of the forums and you'll find the answers you need. Hope I helped:)

yeah, i know i you bulk up you askin' for a belly. but what i would like to know is, for a guy of my size, and goals, how much prot. carb and fat should i take a day?

Oh okay.The calculations I know are

1)bodyweight x 15(To calulate cals needed for mass gain)

2)Consume 1-1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight

3)Consume 2-2.5g of carbs per pound of bodyweight

4)And consume around 60-80g of fat preferably mostly Flax Seed Oil

I think that a popular diet ratio for bulking is 60/30/10 60% Carbs,30% Protein and 10% fat

Personally I don't follow any particular ratio I just eat alot of food and it seems to be working for me.

Peace:cool:

With 60% carbs you will be bloated like an alcoholic :D
Try 40/30/30,have some EFA's (flaxseed,olive oil),seperate carbs from fat (especially avoid high GI carbs with fat @ the same meal)
and definitaly buy some digestive enzymes.It will prevent bloating.

What do you mean by digestive enzymes?

[Wizard]

Amylase,Betaine HCL,Cellulose,Peppermint oil etc...

You can even slightly increase your fiber intake.
