    Calorie Intake Help

    Hi guys I'm brand new to this and could really use some help. I've been reading up best I can and tried researching a lot and came out to these numbers
    111 grams of fat
    560 grams of carbs
    200 grams of protein
    4100 calories (roughly)


    I'm 6"4 and weigh 193 pounds with about 8% body fat. I lift 4-5 days a week and play basketball for two hours six days a week. My problem is that I play college basketball so I have a hard time figuring out bulking and cutting. My season doesn't start again until October are these numbers good to gain quality muscle before then? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Btw got these numbers from plugging in numbers and activity info into calculators

    I'm doubting you are 8% bodyfat. Where did you get that number from?

    A picture would clear things up.

    4100 sounds like a lot - rather than using some calculator (which is just a guess when all is said and done) and risking fat gain, I would prefer to play a more conservative game and start at a lower calorie level - and adjust according to which way the scales move.
