Hello Scott,
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where to post it.
I just joined platnium a few days ago and love everything you have to offer!
I started the PPL program becuase I had initally decided to bulk, but I am still undecided really.
First here is my info:
Age: 30
Height: 6'3
Weight: 175
BF%: Exaplined below
Length Working out Out: About 7 years with the Beachbody Programs (P90X 1, 2 & 3 / Body Beast / Insanity / T25 / etc...)
Okay so for body fat % I used the common fat calipers by Accumeasure and the Jackson/Pollock 3 Caliper method/formula.
2 days ago when I did it it equaled out to about 14% BF but then this morning it's says like 17% BF... Now its worth nothing thatI initally decided to bulk thinking it was the right way to go and yesterday I had my calorie goal of 3,200 cal and in turn, this morning I felt a bit bloated, so maybe that is a factor, or idk... In the end I am not 100% sure where I am at with my BF.
(fyi, along with the 3200 goal I got from your calculator it also says 221g Protein, 81 Fat and 397 carbs) based off 16% bf though...
Im a tall dude and to be honest, the fat I have is ALL in the gut and love handles. I have skinny ass legs lol and not a big chest.
So this fat in my mid section is what bothers me the most, but I dont know if that means I should cut or bulk. I do feel if I cut, I don't have enough muscle size to avoid looking scrawny or etc after cutting. Then again, since I have quite a bit of fat in my mid section, If I bulk I didnt want to gain too much more there!
Here are some photos as well for you to check out to see what your thought are with an eye test as well as my info above.

I kinda feel like they make it look not as bad as I think it is... my stomach and mid section that is lol...
Thanks in advance!
