Nutritional Needs for Body Builder Son...?!
Question: My son is really really into lifting weights and body building through cardio as well. I need a little help from a body building guru out there who knows the amounts of protein, carb's, etc that he needs to consume and also when during the day. Here are his stats:
25 years old
6'3
204 pounds
He lifts weights 5 days a week (weekends off) for 45 minutes and does cardio for 45 minutes a day.
He has a muscular build but he wants to decrease a little fat and also keep adding quality muscle.
I would like to know how much carb's and protein he needs and when throughout the day. Post workout, pre workout, breakfast, lunch, dinner, before bed, etc. How much should his caloric intake be?
Thank you very much for your help. This will be an easy 10 points. A thorough answer is needed.
Thank you.

1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Thus 204 grams.
2-3 grams per pound of bodyweight of carbs. Thus 404-606 grams of carbs.
Divide your calories into 5-6 meals with a little more following workout.
