there are no set figures, and no such thing as "hard gainers" really

i presume you find it difficult to put on weight

the best thing to do would be to post your current diet, or a proposed diet and training routine and we can help you to improve it

for help look at http://www.mealplansite...dybuilding-new-gain.aspx

My take on the term hardgainer: http://www.muscletalk.c...building-hardgainer.aspx

Calories: start with weight in kgx25
protein 1.5g per lb of lean mass thats 0.75g per kg of lean mass (yes bad conversion to kg cos its 2.2lb to a kg but i hate maths)
fat <30% of total calorie intake, 9calories in 1g
carbs - whats left :)
