If it matters I'm 19, 5'11, and weight about 152. Go to the gym 5 days out of the week and do cardio 3. So I started posting what I eat on fitday.com, and those are the percentages that I usually get. It usually adds up to around 1700-2000 Calories , 50-60 grams of fat, 150-280 grams(The 280 only happened once and i have no idea how, its usually 150-160) of carbs, and 150-160 grams of protein. By eating the way I am, Am I losing Muscle? Gaining weight? Losing weight? I would really like to know what I should change about my diet. I'm right now trying to build more muscle and get a little bigger.

Your maintenance if moderately active would be 2744 cals/day. To gain weight, add 500 cals/day gradually to get up to 3244 cals/day. Since you are eating way too little now, don't jump to 3244 all at once, but instead do it gradually by adding 100-200 cals per day. Weigh yourself weekly along with body fat measurement. Adjust as necessary.
