Ectomorph metabolism

I'm wondering if that's my problem as if its not a fast metabolism, I'm definitely pretty hyperactive.
So maybe I need to learn to chill out a little haha

It will definitely be impacted by how active you are - Try the above calculator and let me know what it comes out at as it will let you adjust for activity intensity too. I usually use Moderate activity (x1.55). Will be interesting to see what it comes out at.

Cheers for the help.
Just entered in the numbers now and its came up with pretty much the same, 2577 TDEE and 3092 required on a bulk.
I've been eating about 3100 at the moment anyway but haven't seen much in the way of gains, so I think I'l'd add on maybe another 100-200cals.

If you look up Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. Basically the reason you stay so skinny. Or you don't eat much. Fidgeting and job activity basically determine high or low metabolism.

Yeah I think I set it to increase the TDEE by 20% for a bulk so sounds right. Sounds like a plan though, just keep trying and adjusting until you're happy. If it still doesn't work just smash back a litre of whole milk a day, that'll sort you out!

You could just be over-estimating your body fat which would mean that figure would be higher - which at your height and weight is possible. May be worth getting your BF measured if you get the opportunity.

Haha yeah I'll just keep weekly tabs and I'm planning on adding some whole milk to the diet too.
Once again cheers for the help!

I do wonder if people who claim to have a fast metabolism just fidget ALOT or maybe you are undereating/gotten used to undereating and to you that was ok. Just eat what you need to for 2 week or somethin then observe the results

Yeah I think I read about NEAT in the sticky but I'll definitely give it a closer look.
