I found that doubling my protein (per pound of bodyweight) is ideal for growth, I also don't need a lot of carbs. This is how my body reacts, and it may not be the same for you. I suggest you try different diets to find out what works for you. If you're tight on money, grab a 10lb bag of Optimin Whey from BB.com, DPS, etc. Should only cost you about 60/65 bucks shipped, taste doesn't get old, and will last you a while. You save money buying 10lbs at a time. I mix a shake with almost every meal I eat.
