First Bulk

I am 5'7, 105 pounds, male 19 years old. This is quite underweight.

2 Month Goal: gain 8-16 pounds in 2 months (fat or muscle, I'm too skinny). This will get me to about 115-120 at that point. I will of course continue bulking at that point, but just want a tangible goal for now.

Nutrition:
Maintenance calories: 2500(I am very active and have high metabolism)
Daily goal calories: 3000 to 3500
Weekly weight gain goal: gain 1 to 2 pounds
Macros: 130 protein (minimum), 80 fat (minimum), rest carbs

Exercise:
I will be doing starting strength. Here are my starting lifts:
Squat 3 x 5 105 lbs
Bench press 3 x 5 60 lbs
Deadlift 1 x 5 105 lbs
Press 3 x 5 45 lbs


Here are my starting photos. What do you think my BF % is?

I just want some support and encouragement. It can be scary gaining weight but I know I will be healthier and happier once I do. I might gain some fat but that is necessary to gain muscle.

    Start a basic strength programme

    Track your calls and the scales

    If your not gaining weight up your calls by 200 a week
