Hey there.
First of all, NEVER listen to the FDA requirements for anything. According to them, your diet would be approximately 75% carbohydrates with no more than 60g of protein per day....truly laughable.
Anyway, 4g of vitamin C a day has been shown to greatly increase immune function, anabolic function, and recovery.
As far as water goes...I can not stress this enough....YOU MUST DRINK AT LEAST 1 GALLON OF WATER PER DAY IN ADDITION TO THE MILK!
Milk does NOT COUNT AS WATER.
For ease of use, just buy 1 gal jugs of Zephyrhills spring water or Crystal Springs Spring Water (about $1 a gal) and drink 1 gal each day throughout the day. Instead of carrying around a little 12 oz bottle like regular people you will carry around a 1 gal jug like an animal.
Hey Raynor,
I don't mean to question your judgment, but there's people that says that vitamin C doesn't really help much with recovery.
I'm following your 40card/40protein/20fat diet for bulking.
heres what he said:

Vitamin C has very, very little research backing its beneficial effects on immune function and almost none on recovery. On top of that, 20% intake from fat is very, very low and actually unsustainable in the long run. A much more moderate and maintainable skew is 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. It's still entirely healthy and promotes lean muscle mass. If anything, you should cut back a bit on the carbs, which will put your body in a better hormone balance for fat loss.
Whats your take on this?
