as you know, i weigh close to 190 and i consume around 4500-5000 cals a day, but i was wondering if this is enough for someone who has a super-fast metabolism. I don't do any cardio, so how many cals a day do you think i actually burn? i train 5 days a week...

i would say its more than enough , probably too much, what you need to do is try an amount and see if you gain, if not, then go higher

Since you have a "super-fast metabolism" I'd say you go for 4000 for one week, and see if your gain, and if you don't, then go up by 500 or so until your weight in the morning after you **** and piss goes up.

I weigh 230, and have a pretty fast metabolism, I've never had to go over 4500-4700 a day. Usually 4000 a day is plenty for me to get good gains.
