The numbers of carbs you need a day is a different question than "the formula", or the recommended macro breakdown. The former is contingent upon your lean body mass and activity level. Is 150lbs your bodyweight or your lean body mass?

Aim for about 150 grams of complete protein (whey, eggs, meats)if you want to gain muscle. 30/50/20 -protein/carbs/fats. And carbs doesn't mean sugars...it means complex carbohydrates. Avoid sugar.

I know the good carbs ,i take compelx carbs like oatmeal,brown rice and whole wheat bread,the only time i take simple carbs is post workout,i take white bread with honey and ofc my protein shake,the question was,how much carbs do i need in total,per day,like 300? oh and after training i take like 60 g of simple carbs, and 30 g whey protein, i think thats good,and after 1.5hour i eat a full meal.
