I just ran some quick math and 400g of carbs would actually be a low guess. It is quite reasonable to assume that a very active 180lb adult male would need to consume maybe 3000 calories a day to put on any muscle mass over a period of 6 months - 1 year. So, if we go with the argument that recommended protein levels are enough, say .36g per pound for a total of 65 grams; combine another 65g of fat and you are looking at 530g of carbs needed to reach 3000 calories. Sorry, but I dont know a single person that has acheived any type of results in fitness or bodybuilding that would argue that 65g of protein and 500g of carbs is going to give amazing muscle building results
