How many Calories for size?

[icon]

Hello folks, I'm looking for an idea of what is involved for gaining size, muscle not fat.

I was able to lose 30lbs and now I'm at the bulking stages. Or at least I feel I am ready to start eating more and hitting the weights harder. I'm at 190lbs, 6feet with a 32 inch waist. I'm also 43 years old.

How many calories should I be consuming through the day? I also read that some wake up in the middle of the night to take a protein shake?

Thank you for your time.

I'm more of a Meso. You learn something new everyday.

Without more additional info your question is impossible to answer. Current macros? Pics? How long did it take you to lose 30 pounds? Cardio? Without answering the basics I would be guessing. Everyone is different.
