Counting Calories? protein, carbs, fat

Hi all,

I'm wondering if you all count calories and grams of fat, protein and carbs to achieve max results? I'm 190 lbs...how many calories should I consume in a day and how much protein, carbs, fat, etc must I consume in a day if I want to pack on muscle, mass and size? What would I have to consume if I want to get ripped/cut without losing muscle mass?

Thanks much

For a bulk, consume 20-22 calories per pound of bodyweight. So take in 3800-4180 calories a day. Shoot for 1-1.5 g protein per pound of body weight and about 2g carbs per pound. If you need help managing your diet, [url]www.fitday.com[/url] is a great site.
