If you want it bad enough it will come but it will take hard work and commitment, 40lbs of muscle is a huge gain.

I've lost a fair amount, I used to be around 210 with very little body fat. Years of travelling and eating poorly degraded that. Finally hit a point and thought what the hell am I doing. Making lifting a habit was the hardest part. I've got that down, it's time to just get serious with it. I've been able to add 20lbs to both my bench and squat in the last few weeks, so hopefully I'm off to a decent start and can continue to climb.

This is a good thing to know. If you were there before getting there again will be easier then gaining from scratch. Nutrition will be a key factor, do you have an idea of where you need to be calorie wise for a mass gaining program.

From what I understand I need around 4000 calories a day.

That might be a good starting point but perhaps a little on the high side, generally when calculate cals for maximal weight gain trying to limit fat gain I use 20 cals per pound of body weight, in your case about 3700 so depending on your particular stats 4000 may work. Again these things can be adjusted as needed depending on results

Do you know at what ratios, protein, carbs and fat?

I add a small amount of almonds or flaxeed for the omega fats but where as he may be eating it fairly close to his workout fats will slow down digestion and it already has both monounsaturated and saturated fats from the egg yolk. It's a nutrient dense protein packed meal great to start of the day with. Tastes good too

It's amazing at how weight plays into the quality of life you live, it effects so many different things from energy, self esteem health and the list goes on and on. I could not be happier for you.

This is no lie!!!

Just losing the 40 lbs that I have, I feel like a new person!

Going to feel amazing when I drop the last 60-70 and get back to 225.
