I've never bulked on a carb based diet. I was with the same ratio last two weeks, but 2650 calories. Lost 3 pounds, from 180 to 177. So upping the calories here. Any tips I'd appreciate. I have a hard time getting the carbs that high, any tricks (since I'm not used to it).
Currently 6'2'' 177 9-10% bodyfat. Trying to get to 185 single digit body fat by next summer.

you need .4-.5g/lb in fat minimum (fat intake based on BW not %)
Go for .5 since bulking (90g)
Can probably hit this by making 3 of the four changes
Meal 1
Breakfast Burrito
replace 1 tortilla with some PB




Meal 3
replace yogurt with 1 serving fat


Meal 5
replace 1/2-3/4c rice with fat (dressing/oil)
Meal 6
replace yogurt with PB

Alright thanks for the advice.

What % or ratio. are you using for bulk? for carb/protein/fat. I guess I'm "confused" cause the .5 gram per body for the fat. What about the carb and protein?

% are meaningless

I say Minimums
Protein: 1g/lb in COMPLETE protein (meat, dairy, whey, casein, eggs)Now because almost all carb sources and many fat sources have protein, you will end up with more than 1g/lb anyways.
fat: .5g/lb
carbs: a good amount of veggies to provide fiber and nutrients (no set #)

These are just the minimums. Once you get these, you probably will be adding mostly carbs (I suggest fruit, whole grain, trace amounts in LF dairy), but can also add some lean protein and healthy fats to fulfill your calorie needs.
