    Take a look at Scooby's calorie calculator, you can set your goals in there and include your cardio to get a target estimate. Then you adjust your intake after following that if you don't see the gains/loss you're after since it's just an estimate like all calculators.

    Most questions you have about building muscle is answered in this article.

    Getting big, strong muscles and losing fat is simple but it's not easy! To accomplish anything worthwhile in life, you need a firmly fixed goal; willpower; a high tolerance for pain.
