Not nearly enough calories or carbs. Have you figured out your BMR? Gener rule of thumb is 500 calories over your BMR, with a 30/50/20 p/c/f split. There is no advantage to getting over 30% of your calories from protein. Several studies have shown that .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass is all that's needed for growth. Beyond that is unnecessary. Where do people get the idea that a 40/40/20 split (or something similar) is either needed or healthy? -EK
