Im just a guy who wants to get stronger and bigger. Ive been doing the 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day and ive been lifting seriously. This site is interesting... lots of information. Not sure what to think of it all.

Welcome aboard - read and research is the key, lots of stuff is on here and many of the common questions have been posted and answered before. There's a lot of helpful and experienced people on here willing to give advice, just realize that it's expected not to spoon feed anybody and you'll need to put some work in yourself.

First off, how old are you? Second, do you monitor your caloric/macronutrient intake?

1)great point on all counts. Ive been following threads for weeks and trying to learn the proper path and be responsible. I will continue to read and research posts.

2)Im in my early 30s and i monitor my protein and caloric intake via an android phone app that i update meticulously and i use a digital scale for my body that measures BMI, Body Fat, Weight, and %hydration. Im trying to do this the right way.
