Could I get some opinions on my diary today?
Some Background: Im 18, 5'1, 96 lbs. I want to put on some muscle, I did a circuit of 5x5 stronglifts this morning followed by a half hour of cardio/toning bootcamp and I rode my bike a little.
Do I need to be eating more? How are my macros?

if 1800 is your surplus number then you need to be hitting that number every day, or at least averaging that number for the week.
Also, are you doing 5x5 or are you doing it as a circuit workout? If you are doing it as a circuit then you are doing it wrong. You need to be lifting heavy, with rest between sets, and then progressively adding more weight each week, or every few weeks.
you also need to cut back the cardio to minimal amount, say maybe an hour a week of light jogging….or keep the cardio as is and increase your calories to at least 2000.0 -
Calories is under...can't build muscle on a deficit.
Protein is pretty high, especially if you're bulking, you should have you carbs around 50% of you daily intake on a bulk for proper energy/recovery.0
