    the stickies should help you get a rough estimate of how much you should get. so far, it seems like you're not getting enough macros and calories, considering all the activities you do. then again, the stickies are recommended for those 18 and up, but should give you a rough estimate.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you need more carbs and calories for sure. You do quite a bit of running and you're growing to boot.

    Calculate target protein and fat requirements, then if you're satisfied with those numbers fill the rest of your calories with carbs.

    Off the bat your protein looks high, fats low and calories look low. Here is the calculating macros thread, give it a read through.

    Sounds like you're undereating by a pretty significant amount. I ran your numbers through one of the formulas in the calorie calculation sticky, and I'm guessing your BF% is in the 15-20% range, and assuming your time outside of soccer isn't spent just sitting aroun. Also, you're a teen, so you've got to add some to take growth and development into consideration. Your BMR + Activity Factor seems to be between, oh, say 1800 and 2100, before your other activities. Soccer will add a substantial amount to that number.

    If you want to gain primarily muscle weight, evidence points to the notion that you've got to eat around 1-2g of protein per lb of body weight (which it looks like you're doing), and maintain a calorie surplus. Of course, you've got to continue weight lifting.

    If I were you, I'd find out how much soccer and other exercises are burning, add that to your BMR + Activity Factor, and add maybe 300-400 calories to that count. Try to eat that many calories per day. Also, eat more fats, they're a very important part of your diet!

    Lastly, many people around here will tell you not to worry about all these details and just enjoy growing up, and I think they're partially right -- keep track of what you eat, but don't get obsessive over it! In the long run, a few days where you don't hit your goal probably isn't going to make a substantial impact on your results.

    Good luck reaching your goal!
