Hi everyone,
I recently joined the community here, and I was hoping someone would be able to answer some of the questions I have (I apologize in advance, I have a lot of them). I did the BMR calculator on the site and got BMR at rest of 1721 and in motion at 2668. My current goal is to put on some muscle mass, so that puts my calorie goal at 2918 (186g Protein, 56g Fat, 418g Carb). Since it's plus 250-500 calories for bulking, on my rest days do I add 250-500 to my BMR at rest and consume roughly 2221 calories on those days? If that is the case, do I adjust my carb intake and keep my proteins and fats the same to meet the lowered calorie goal?
Additionally, I tracked my macros for a few months before joining here, and I have noticed that I can consistently get around 60-70g of fat per day, but it's harder for me to lower it, and I can get roughly between 250-350 carbs per day, and I can't really seem to up them too much. I'm progressively improving my protein intake to where I can get around 160g per day. Can I adjust my plan to include slightly more fats and less carbs and still gain lean mass, or will I start packing on unneccesarry fat? I'm doing a primarily calisthenics-based exercise program as well, so I don't know if that will influence my bulk or not.
Thank you for your help, and happy lifting!
