    There are no 'best' macros for anything. Everyone is different bro. Gotta find what works best for you.

    What I generally recommend is doing this:

    Take your bulking calories: 18 - 19 calories per lb. of bodyweight

    1 - 1.5 - 2 grams of protein per lb of body weight (select depending on your muscle mass)

    20% of calories = fat. 25% of fat calories = saturated fat

    Figure out the amount of calories that would apply to you for your required protein and fat and subtract it from your bulking calories. The amount that remains is your carbohydrate calories.

    Example:

    Buddy weighs 200.

    Bulking calories: 200 * 18 = 3600 calories

    He will take in 200 g of protein.

    Fat calories = 3600 calories * 0.20 = 720 cals

    Carb calories = 3600 - 720 - 800 = 2080 carb cals.

    If you have any more questions, post em up here or PM me
