Ok im starting to get to grips with all this diet stuff, but how do i know how much Potein, Carbs and Fat i should be eating?

I'm about 205 and want to get up to about 220 in muscle but not putting on a lot of fat.

So whats the rule to follow for knowing how much to eat? Do i eat as if i was 220 to gain to that weight(while training properly) Or do i just up my food as my weight goes up?

Cheers for the help

whats "clean fat" and "clean carbs"??

Clean fats are unsaturated, monosaturated, polysaturated fats. This includes fish, essential fatty acids (EFA's); Omega 3, olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc...It does not include saturated fats as well as trans fats...

Trans fat, also called trans fatty acid, is created when a fat that is normally liquid is processed to turn it into a solid. Common examples include shortening and some margarines. The process is called “hydrogenation.” The more a fat is hydrogenated, the more solid it becomes, and the more trans fat it contains. Trans fat also occurs naturally in some animal-based foods.

Saturated fat is generally solid at room temperature and it's usually from animal sources. It's found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything these ingredients are used in, such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries. It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin. The less saturated fat you eat, the better - a high intake has been linked with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Unsaturated fat is usually liquid at room temperature and generally comes from vegetable sources. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat are both included in this group. Unsaturated fat is a healthier alternative to saturated fat and can be found in vegetable oils, such as sesame, sunflower, soya and olive; oily fish, such as mackerel, sardines, pilchards and salmon; and soft margarine.

Clean carbs are carbs that really don't spike the insulin too high. This includes yams, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, etc. Stay away from processed foods which include sugar, etc

:cool:
 
I can tell you what I do:

The Synpax Diet uses just four components: oats (carbs), a mixed-type protein powder, flax seed oil (fat), and dextrose (post workout sugar).

I have two to three workouts a day (2 cardio, one lifting) and do 500g of oats, 400g of protein powder, and 60g of flax seed oil. EAch workout is followed by 25g of dextrose. Total calories range from 3900 to 4150 daily, with a rough ratio of 40/40/20 (carbs, protein, fat), though somewhat more carbs on trifecta days due to the dextrose.
