Well thanks for all the info guys ill try to stop stressing over these damn macronutrients.

You are eating over on protein, but your grain is good. According to the food pyramid you are eating just the right servings of grain:6. But you are having 5 servings of protein. You only need two. I don't know if that is necessarily bad for you though. If the calories are good, I don't think that's exactly harmful. How are those Boca burgers, by the way? I bought some, but I haven't tried them yet. I also bought some nature's promise soy burgers and Jennie O Turkey Burgers. The turkey burgers were delicious! :)

But if he's in the gym lifting and trying to gain muscle mass, that extra protein is essential to him. The standard "2 servings" (or 50 grams) of protein is not nearly enough for anyone who is in the gym and trying to gain muscle mass.
