So I'm trying to put on a few kilos of muscles in the next 2-3 months before footy season starts, trying to get up to about 80kg (I'm 173cm tall, 23, 76kg) with not much flab ideally
I did a fair bit of research as I've never really paid my diet much attention before, Just need to clarify a couple of things.
A lot of people say to consume 1.5-2g of protein per kg of body mass. So for me thats about 150g of protein.
I've also read that you need a calorie surplus and a lot of websites suggest a diet with 30-40% protein. Working out my metabolic rate, that ratio of protein comes MUCH higher than 150g, more like 250-300g.
Any ideas on what I should sort of be aiming for here? Not going for a bodybuilder type of build, this is for footy, if that's relevant.
