You dont say. So Aim for lower than 15 cal at maximum?

Noted.

If it helps, I'm about 6'1 (maybe 6'2 i feel taller nowadays) and 185 lbs as of this morning before my workout.

for you 2700 cal 200g protein is probably the best macro

at 2700 cal its not too far over maintenance where youll gain fat, but you give yourself enough wiggle room to get all the protein you need

protein, rest, and proper vitamins are paramount when bulking

Thanks, thats actually pretty much what I've been eating at. Although it may be towards the 3000 Cal mark. Finally tried deadlifts today too. 3 sets of 10 x 225 to start. Really makes you feel after.

you gotta bulk with the same diligence you cut at

or youll have more cuts to deal with in the future

see the interesting thing about fat gain is that its just hard to gain it as it is to lose it(4000cal to synthesize and 3500 to break down) but when you consider weekly eating surplus, its not hard to put on a pound of fat per pound of muscle if you arent counting. The more exact you are nutrition wise bulking, the less fat youll put on while bulking. Which at the end of the day saves time in the long haul of transforming your body

I feel you. My thing was that I never needed to cut. I was always slim and pretty ripped even my back is cut. A little bit too slim though mainly in my arms and chest. Probably my calves a little too

I gotta join this movement. Trying lose around 30-35lbs by the end of the year. Thanks for all the info and advice MMSex.

my best advice is to eat similar things the first week to keep the counting simple, after that then try other foods and count them, and by week 3 it should be natural

key is using the calculator i put in the first post and doing it AS WRITTEN dont assume you burn more than whats given to you

good luck start a log in the forum, youd be surprised how many people will be supportive

i gotta change my sleeping schedule up. im going to sleep at 9am and waking up at 4pm, its messing me up with keeping track of what calories apply to what day and shyt. im getting drunk as fukk starting now and waking up at 11am tomorrow.

160 now though

what was your weight at heaviest? also how tall are you?

175 was my heaviest, but when i started this i was, depending on the day, 169-171. im 5'7"

in that case you prolly got 15-20 more lbs to lose before you should consider bulking

trust the mirror, and if youre lifting try to get the most out of it now dont stop pushing

agreed. im gonna keep going breh. shyt is easy past the first week, its sort of like why didnt you do this earlier in life when you get the hang of it? just gotta fix my sleeping schedule and keep the calories in a midnight to midnight time-frame.

I feel like I'm asking a question I should know the answer to by searching, but I'm still confused. I'm 5'8" and 160lbs. What number should I be hitting in terms of calories, but more importantly protein. I understand there is a different number if I was bulking, but I'm still unsure about how much protein I should be getting. I know if I'm at 16-1900 calories I should be fine per day going by that (right?).

the lower your bodyfat percentage the higher the protein you need

so in your case, the number is probably 15/1

What do you mean by 15/1? 15 what to 1 what. Excuse me for my ignorance .
