Hello! I am a 21 year old follower of the red pill. My weight is 160lb. I want to gain for lean muscle and maybe put on more mass.

Alas, I am a college kid on a budget so... What are some recommendations for bulking on a budget? I know proteins are important and I drink a shake everyday but I'm honestly confused on how much I should be consuming everyday. My job requires a lot of lifting (Monday through Friday) and I do mild strength and cardio when I'm home and on the weekends.

Suggestions?
