The right diet/workout?
I've read several posts but I am still having trouble finding an answer to my question. If possible, could someone please let me know what a good mass gaining diet might be (i.e. amount of carbs, fiber, protein, etc.) and a good workout combo for said diet.
I currently weigh about 140 lbs, 5'8'' tall, and work out about 5 days a week. My idea for a new diet involves about 100 grams of protein, 20 grams of fiber, and 150 grams of carbs daily. Am I on the right track? I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks.

Try doing a search on the Nutrition forum - there are a zillion threads out there about bulking diets. Search anything by Anubus or Gymrat - they had some good bulking diets going for a while.

What are your stats? Age, weight, body fat, experience, history, etc.

Stats...
Thanks to you all for the useful info.
I'm 24 years old; weigh about 140; not certain about body fat but I would assume its around 5%; I've been steadily weight-lifting for the past 5 years but it seems to have developed into a maintenance program instead of a gaining one.

140 and 5%? How tall?
Drive to the bookstore and buy Scrawny to Brawny. Check out that forum on this site, too. Tons of great successes in there. Highly recommended.

I second the Scrawny to Brawny. Not the best layed out in regards to the workouts...but excellent information. Will set you on the right track to bulking for sure. IMHO
