Proper calorie and protein intake?

[Tripp Doogan]

I weigh 152 lbs.
My long term goal is to reach (about) 215 lbs.

How many calories and grams of protein should I be aiming at consuming on a daily basis?

I'm trying to start a chart, so i can get on top of this from the beginning.

take your weight, x it by 15 and +500.

for example you weigh 152

152x15+500 = 2750.

that's roughly how much calories you should be intaking each day for a bulk. monitor your gains, if you see no improvements up the calories another 100 -150.

as for protein it's recommended to take in 1 - 1.5 per lb. of bodyweight.

Also, remember that after you eat at a level of calories for so many weeks that you are going to increase your intake to continue to see gains.
