Opinions on my daily Macro intake?

[conbon40]

Hey,

I'm 23 y/o 5'11 and roughly 160~165 lbs. My current goal is to build muscle and lean mass.

My average daily macro intake is...

("With Protein Shake")

Calories:1,415cal (1,945cal)

Fat-64.2g(79g)

Carb-57g(84g)

Protein-187g(255g)

Is this a solid foundation for my goal, or is there a specific area (F, C, P) skewed? I'm not claiming to be an expert, so by all means be honest!

SIDE NOTE*I've maintained this diet for almost 6 months straight (not religiously but close enough) and I lost 50 lbs from it!*

1415 calories for a 23 year old who is your size is a cutting diet (and one is that is excessively low), even 1945 calories is too low for you for building.

You should be taking in probably closer to 2500-3000 calories or whatever calorie amount has you gaining roughly 2 lbs per month.

Probably something like this would be a good starting point, which you may have to adjust based on individual results:

Fat: 80g = 720 calories
Carbs: 300 = 1200 calories
Protein: 200 = 800 calories

Total: 2720 calories per day.

I think too that you probably will have to eat more calories. I recommend not being afraid of a bit more fat. That way, it's easier to get the calories in.
