It depends on what your goals are in relation to weight gain. THe quickest way to gain muscle mass is unfortunately going to involve bringing some fat aboard; having to trim down after the bulking cycle is over. The flip side; working to increase muscle mass and lowering the fat percentage at the same time is a much slower and titering process.

Without getting to technical it may later be imprtant to undertstand that biochemists dont measure protein levels directly, but instead an individuals nitrogen balance. How much nitrogen is lost against how much is consumed in he diet is called nitrogen retention.

One of the best ways of keeping your nitrogen retention up is consuming quality protein every 2-4 hours through the day (except sleep)

5 "mini meals" consisting of the "zone approach" which Im sure most of you have heard about 40% protein 30% complex carbs 30% friendly fats with number six meal being right before bed, this one being only protein. (no carbs before bed) They have specially designed protein now that you drink and its time release to help keep your nitrogen rentention up throughout the night while you sleep.

US Food and Nutrition recommends 2.2 grams per body weight per day. The need will increase as your lean mass does.
