When it comes to calories, I need to eat about 25 cals per pound of bodyweight in order to grow. This is much more than most people, and it's because I started out very skinny and have put on about 40 pounds since. I have a high metabolism, and need more calories to create the anabolic environment that does not come naturally to me with regular amount of calories.
Thus, at 165 pounds of bodyweight, I need to consume about 4000 calories a day, which is well over the average bulking caloric requirements for my weight.
My question is this:
Do I need to scale up protein intake similarly? Should I be eating more than 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight?
Or does this issue not apply to protein?
What about Essential Fatty Acids?
I have not seen this question asked or addressed before, so forgive me if it's already been discussed.
