are you saying you are burning 4000 calories during a workout?

what are you trying to accomplish?

also you need fat as well.

 

[pbmark]

nonono, I want an intake of 4000 calories.. basically what % of fat/carbs/protein do yall recommend or do you do on your diets

 

[theincredible1]

50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fat.. Ive been told my diet is shitty but it works for me

 

[Suareezay]

im going to naturally assume this is in order to gain weight.

assuming average or better insulin sensitivity: 50/30/20 carb/protein/fat.

some people do better on lower carbs higher fats.

im actualy looking more for the athlete type, ill also be doing cardio workouts while on this

meaning what? that youre trying to minimize fat gain while gaining muscle/strength? thats inherently the goal of practically every person here.

I did well (in my athletic training) with a 50/40/10 carbs/protein/fat....this of course may change if your a marathon runner or a powerlifter..what sports?
