I need some personal opinions

[Tanakss]

Before I start I would like to just clarify that I've read all the stickies that are relevant with this post. I just need personal opinions on this. If I missed any info please let me know and I will provide it. I'm just starting out counting my macronutrients.
I'm 5'8"
158 lbs
Male
27 years old
My goal is to gain lean mass and gain strength.
I've decided to hit a daily goal of
2,728 calories at
30% protien 205g
30% fat 91g
40% carbs 273g
I do weight training 5 days a week and cardio 3 days a week. I just want some personal opinions on these numbers and if there is anything you would change or tweak a little. Thanks

Way more protein than you need, do not use ratios for macro split; .8g of protein per pound and .4g of fat per pound as minimums, rest of calories from carbs/fat/protein as you like.

Calories may or may not be enough, watch the scale and progress in the gym; aim to gain ~2 pounds per month adjusting calories as needed to be in that range.

Protein seems a little too high, but probably not a big deal depending on what kind of foods you like to eat.

Don't see the point in doing cardio if you're trying to gain muscle and strength. If you're worried about excess fat, just eat less, but that's my opinion because I can't stand cardio.

Actually Lyle mentioned over and over that low-intensity cardio done for 20-30 minutes 3 times a week is a generally good idea for bulk as well.

I will keep this in mind. Thank you for your help!

I guess it's just a mental kind of thing for me. I have a pretty active lifestyle and doing cardio is just more of a lifestyle for me rather than a choice. It's a great way for me to start my day.

Yeah, as I said, it's my preference. Cardio isn't a bad thing...but it is a bad thing for someone who hates it.

Any more opinions on this guys?

With a five day split plus three days of cardio, I would definitely look to replace some of that protein for carbs.

Thanks for the tip, I think I'm going to go this route.
