Hi guys, may be a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway.
I want to gain weight/bulk, I'm 10st atm. I've read thousands of post say that you should aim to get 6000 calories a day. I've also seen loads of post saying eat as many carbs as possible. Someone said eat 2.5 grams of carbs to every lb of body weight meaning I should eat 350 grams of carbs.
Which should i am for 6000 calories or 350g of carbs? Or both?

Where on earth are you getting your information from? It'd be best to check out the stickies: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=173439001

Posts at least 1 posts where you need 6000 calories. 350 carbs is only 1400 calories.

You can consume 350 carbs and 6000 calories, though you'd be consuming a lot of fat/protein to get there. Carbohydrates are one of the three (four, including alcohol) that will contribute to your caloric intake.

No brain, no gain.
"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon
