      Set caloric intake to 110% to 120% of TDEE. Protein requirements are lower on a bulk than on a cut, because energy intake itself is nitrogen sparing.

      I would agree. Nothing good will come from cutting. Bulk it up and cut later when you have something to cut down to.

      What is your maintenance? Using the percent rather than an arbitrary number is better. You need 1g/lb of lbm of protein.
