Calories make you gain weight.... As long as your macronutrients are from quality sources then the weight you gain should be more muscle than fat.

I think 4,000kcals is alot especially as you weigh 140lbs I would suggest you maybe start off at 3000kcals and build your way up, but if you are sure you can eat that much then go for it.

50% Carbs 30% Protein 20% Fat Is my preference but I'm sure as you are eating enough quality calories Big's ratios above will work just as well...

So thats:
500g of Carbs a day
200g of Protein a day
89g Fat a day
