help anyone?

ok... im 17 years old, 5' 6.5", 170 pounds, and max out on the bench at 170. Now my fat free body mass is around 135 and I am wondering how I should base my diet. Should I multiply the amount of carbs/fats/proteins on 170 pounds or 135? cuz im eating about 2400 calories and it seems every pound of muscle i gain, i get about a pound of fat also.. HELP!

Welcome to DB kvnmcp..

Check out this link on calculating your calorie requirments

Calculate Expenditure: A starting point for all diets

1 lb of fat per 2 lbs of muscle is about right on a bulking diet where you are attempting to put on weight.

You might also want to browse the Nutrition forum as there's lots of info there.. as well as check out the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle review. It's the best nutrition book I've read so far..

so yea, i took your diet advice. i ate like that the other day, im on ripped fuel extreme, and did 15 mintues of cardio at a 200 pulse (i can hadle it).... well anyways, i woke up this morning and i use on of those electronic fat scales and it is pretty consistant and found myself at 167 pounds and 2 percent more fat. what the hell? and i drink like a fish also, a gallon plus a day. whats up with this?

lets see a sample of your average daily food intake. approx. what times do you eat?

And 1 day on the program mda suggested is not very accurate.

Please do NOT feed the moderators.

Pain is only temporary, No matter how long it lasts

i use on of those electronic fat scales

Highly.. HIGHLY inaccurate. You can do it 5x and get a vasty different reading each time depending on how much water is in your system.

im eating 170g of protein, 260g of carbs, and 47g of fat daily now. I eat every three hours and usually eat 4 to 6 meals a day.

It is not possible to gain 2% BF in 2 days... that's like 4 lbs in 2 days. Stick to the diet for 2 weeks, after 2 weeks if you have not noticed an overall difference from all avenues (appearance, weight and electronic BF measurement average from 3 days) then adjust the diet. Until then leave it alone. I freaked out when I first started the diet I posted the first time. In a week I had gained like 3 lbs, after 2 weeks my weight was where I had started. When I hit the dunk tank I had lost a full % point. Stick to it it'll all work out.
