carbs during a bulk

Set protein to 1g.

Set fat to 0.5g.

Fill the remaining calories with carbs.

This is complete nonsense; you've been greatly mislead. You need to avoid whomever you've been talking to; he's clueless.

Besides adequate protein, you need adequate fat, at least 1/2 gram per pound of body weight. After those two essentials are accounted for, you can then fill the remainder of your calorie requirements with carbs (or more protein and/or fat).

Carbs are needed not only to fuel heavy training but also to get you through the remainder of your day. They also help spare protein, which may be used as an energy source if carbs are inadequate.

You need to start all over again, here:

I've actually read the first one a few times but I get confused Ido why maybe I'm not good at calculating but what I came up with is at 167lbs I need 167g of protein 500g of carbs and 83g of fat with like 3000-3100 total cals. Does that seem a little right? It seems like not enough protein and a hell of a lot of carbs.
