Are my macros right for bulking?

[jorellmartis]

So basically I cut too much and became underweight (5'11 and 136.68lbs).
Now I'm trynna bulk and get big

My calories per day 2600
Total protein intake 228gm
Total carbs intake 289gm
Total fat intake 59gm

Don't need to hit exact numbers. Just set minimum levels for protein and fat - which you then meet or exceed while sticking to a calorie total

Those macros would be fine although you don't have to have that much protein unless that's what you prefer.

If 2600 calories is about 2-300 above your TDEE then it's fine.

^^^^ What was said above

Just remember to take the bulk slowly or you will just gain the fat back you lost on your cut. You won't get big over night so take your time adding 1-2 pounds a month. If you start noticing your belly fat increasing more then the rest of your body you may need to evaluate your calories as they are probably too high. If strength increases with measurements, weight (at 1-2 lbs per month) and regular pictures look more muscular then you are on the right lines. Good luck

Umm but should my carbs be higher than protein?

Hit your protein and fat minimums then fill rest with whatever. If your tdee reall is 2500 then go for about 2800 per day average

Why did you cut down to 136lb at 5'11"?

Why not?

[jorellmartis]

Why did you cut down to 136lb at 5'11"?

Didn't keep track. Just kept cutting like a dumbass because I could see definition.

[jorellmartis]

Why not?

So more carbs is better for bulk right?

[Mikeez0]

No, it is cheaper, convenient and tastier

It doesn't really matter. As we've been saying all you need is a minimum level of protein and fats. If there was some particular level needed for carbs, we would have mentioned it.
