How many blocks?
 

It really helps my thinking if I can quantify how many Zone blocks it takes to put on fairly lean mass. Up until now i have followed a fairly paleo diet with no real portioning controls, I have just been trying to eat as much as I can between 4pm and 10pm. It feels like I am stuffing myself (several pounds of vegetables, 4 whole fruits, whole bag of cashews, lots of lean meat and protein powder and aminos post workout) but can't tell if it is enough. I seem to be putting on some lean mass, but would like to get more precise to make sure I am getting enough clean calories.

I am about 165lbs, 21yo, male. I am a trainer at Rogue Fitness, so I am very active all day long and workout 5-6 days per week. I figure 21 blocks at 3x fat seems right. Thats about 150g PRO and about 3,050 calories. As I put on mass, that will have to go up. Is this enough?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cut back on the veggies a bit and up the nut butters. use some dense carbs post WO. It will be tough to eat enough otherwise!

fat...fat...fat. Make sure you are getting enough protein and then load up on fat. Like Robb said....not easy to eat a ton of veggies....but fat is quick and dense calories. I would also make sure to spread the fats out...polyunsat, monounsat, healthy sat (grassfed, coconut)...too many omega 6s will lead to increased inflammation, and nuts are higher omega 6s. Also....fish oil....not a ton of calories but will help balance the omega 3-6 ratio.
