Increase calories: 1.Increase your calorie intake to an additional 700-1000 calories per day. 2.Higher protein intake 3. 25-30% of your diet must be fat. This allows your diet to meet its energy needs. 4. 60-65% of your caloric intake must be carbohydrates. Check this article for more information. http://otwithmd.com/4-healthy-ways-to-bulk-up/.
