Honestly...eat about 60/40 carbs to protein without neglecting your essential fats. Make sure to stay with brown rice/yams/oatmeal and other high GI carbs so they digest slower and dont cause insulin spikes (promoting fat storage) and then stick to chicken/fish/egg whites/random servings of beef/pork along with whey shakes immediately after working out and before you go to bed (prevents going into a catabolic state overnight since you are not eating) and might even try drinking one in the morning w/ breakfast

Cut back on your cardio and try to limit it to 30min a session so you are not burning all the calories your body needs to build lean muscle tissue, but are still providing your body with a fat-burning metabolic boost

any other questions just shoot me a pm and i can explain stuff a little better, and btw i've got a bachelor's of exercise and health science, certified by the American College of Sports Medicine, and am starting my master's of applied exercise and health science in the fall...just so u know that i'm not just pulling this stuff out of my ass
how do you like applied exercise and health science versus PT?

btw, yeah, limit the cardio. you need to spare some calories for muscle building. ultra marathon runners need massive amount of calories because they burn so much calories while being relatively small.
