That turns into approximately 420 grams protein, 250 grams Carbs, and 83 grams of fat. This is roughly 3500 calories
*Reminder: This is a PRIMER. It?s not mean to be comprehensive. Everyone is different, to find out what works for your body takes trial and error.
Here comes the fun part: Question and Answer?.
Q: How often should I eat?
A: You?ll have to do the math to see how often you will have to eat to get your 7-8 meals a day in. If your up for 16 hours a day, then every 2 hours is how often you need to eat.
Q: Is sodium an issue?
A: Outside of the bloating issue, or if you have high cholesterol, no.
Q. How do I make my meals not taste like cardboard?
A. Be creative. Mix in some sugar free jam or splenda in your oats, some hot sauce or soy sauce on your meats, or pick up some sugar free ketchup.
Q. I don?t like old fashioned oats. Can I eat the pre mixed oats with fruit?
A. No. Be a man. Those mixes have ridiculous amounts of sugar.
Q. What about fruit?
A: Go for it, like with dairy you are BULKING. You have more freedom in your dietary choices.
Q: What are some good sources of Lean Protein?
A: Eggs, Fish, Chicken, Steak, Ground Beef, Whey Protein, Turkey?.. the list goes on forever. Do a search and look through other people?s diets for ideas on protein
Q: What are some good sources of complex carbohydrates?
A: Rice, Pasta, Whole Wheat Bread, Yams, Oatmeal?. Same as above

The above information is a great start. Don't jump into the above diet right away though, change it so it fits your lifestyle & preferences. Slowly work your way into it until you can stay with it consistently. "Getting big" takes a lot of time, unless by getting big you mean putting 15lbs of muscle and 20lbs of fat in a year. Expect to gain 12-15lbs of LBM a year.
