    Help determine Macros (Reps)

    I've calculated my caloric intake to 3250 calories because I'm deciding to bulk.

    I'd like to gain around 20-25 lbs before cutting and wanted to know what a good % of my macros to do.

    Should I do something like a typical 30/40/30 or would a different amount help to meet my specific needs? Thanks brahs

    Macronutrient Intake

    Protein: ~0.6 to ~0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research.

    Fat: ~0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical observation.

    Remaining caloric budget: whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer -- as implied by research.

    Just as WonderPug said mate. He even included the links to the research for you!

    You should always use g/lb. rather that ratios.

    Here is a basic calculator for finding our your maintenance caloric needs, please keep in mind that this is only a basic estimation for determining your caloric needs . Heres what to do…
    Eat at the number that it gives you
    Weigh yourself before to get a baseline/starting number
    Make adjustments based off of rate of gain/loss after a few days.
