How Are My Macros?
I am about 195 right now, about 18% body fat. I am not new to lifting but to the dieting aspect i am. I play high school football (D-Line) so the body fat isnt a HUGE deal for me right now. All i am concerned with is getting BIGGER and STRONGER. I was wondering if you guys could help me with setting my macros right. If you cold just get me off on the right foot that would be great. Here's what I am planning on doin(5'10", 195, and i will be playing football or lifting everyday)
Calories-4,000kcal
Fat-66g
Sat. Fat-35g
Sodium-2,000mg
Carbohydrates-500g
Fiber-60g
Sugars-100g
Protein-350g
Basically i have a ratio of fats-Carbs-Protein of 15, 50, 35, is this ok?

I wouldn't take in that many carbs personally.
I'd do a 40/40/20 of some sort. Or do carb cycling... There is a nutrition section as well.

well the reason with all the carbs was because i need the energy to get through these harder practices in the summer heat, especially two-a-days, maybe i will cut down carbs once those end idk....

Looks good then. 500carbs a day is still alot... But you'll never know if it works until you try it. I'd taper them down if you're gaining more than 1 1/2lbs a week.

Damn, nice protein intake dude. You must be gaining like a f*king machine with this diet! I'd say stick with the protein, take about 100g carbs away, and add enough fat to get back to 4k calories. Once again, excellent work dude!
