Sport Calories and Ratios

[Randolph]

How many calories should I be consuming on a day to day basis considering my aim is to gain lean weight and build muscle? I workout for one hour, six days a week and estimate each workout burns approximately 450 calories. Also what ratio of protein:carbs:fat should I be consuming? I would very much appreciate any advice on this subject.

The Zone Diet is good... it's a 40:30:30 plan.

I reccomend this online calculator to help you figure out a guideline for your macronutrient needs.
