      Hey guys, So I've read the stickies a couple times and tried a few different times to see what I need and was wondering if this is right or not.


      I'm 21 years old
      5'11"
      162 lbs

      I got my BMR as 1834.16. And TEE at 2567.82 using a 1.4 since I do have a desk job but I do exercise about 5 times a week. Added 20% for a bulk at got 3081.38.

      For Macros I got:
      Protien: 326.5g
      Carbs: 266g
      Fats: 79g

      Does this look at all right? It looks like a lot to me.. But then again this is my first time to ever "bulk" and actually look at paying attention to my diet. Thanks!

      Hi @CharlesHarris12

      Welcome to the forum - sorry the delay in getting back to you.

      Its sounds as though you have a target/reason in mind for your "bulking". Could you share that with us? I like to hear what motivates others as this is something I can struggle with.

      You can do a few more things and consume certain foods to Bulk Up Fast:
      • Consume Plenty of Calories
      • Lift Heavy Weights
      • Get Enough Sleep
      • Drink Plenty of Water

      A lot of people mention sleep, how important is it? I presume it is the main time when the body gets to recover?

      Interested to see this:-

      Avoid Overtraining: While consistency is essential, overtraining can lead to injuries and hinder progress. Listen to your body and take rest days when needed.
