Yeah, I'd do that protein as a minimum but it's right at .8 which is fine.
Are you sure of your TDEE?0 -
Well, MFP tells me to cut at 500 deficit a day 1 lb a week so 1750kcal. Maintain 2250. So 2500 to gain 0.5 a week.
Inpresume thats my TDEE? how can i be sure?
Also should i maybe raise the protein abit? Feels a little low haha?0 -

Okay, I don't do cardio either so I just presume MFP gives me my TDEE. You could also just with other calculators and split the difference.
You could raise the protein, especially if you like it. I kind of over do it...I'm like 128 lbs and I get 160g some days lol.

what are your stats though, as 2500 seems low fora bulk ..
what do you mean by "clean bulk"?

Why no cardio ? Why depriving yourself from the good endorphins ? Maybe if you do intervals or 1-2 days 5ks it won't be bad for your weight gain ?:(0 -

because he is trying to gain weight and cardio should be minimal when bulking because then you have to eat more to get into a surplus.0 -
If your body gets used to the exercise it won't be so efficient anymore .0

I am 5-10 36 male and wen I bulked at 175 I started at 2750 calories for .5 gain and by the end that was up to 3100 calories..
this time around I am bulking on 3300 calories and that is about a little under one pound per week gain for me...0 -

Yes it is. You organism adapts to the stress and you burn less cal from the exercise you used to burn more. Like if I run every day 15 km at one point my body will adapt to the stress and I will burn less cal. That is why many ppl have problem with losing weight.0 -

I think you made a wrong turn somewhere..this is the GAINING forum, we are talking about gaining weight here and calories burns are not the priority.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the OP and his bulking macros. Some of us don't do cardio.
@ndj1979 I'm curious what you think of the OPs protein. I think because I always overeat protein it seems low.0 -

He has it set at .8 grams per pound of body weight, which is fine. Like you, I am a protein eating machine so I usually get one pound per pound of body weight. I was actually getting more than that for a while and I actually had a hard time getting to 50% carbs, imagine that! I actually had to cut down on protein and increase carbs...0 -

I'm wondering if I'll have to do that. I mean I'm getting 160g of protein some days and don't think I understand the importance of carbs just yet. Anyway, don't want to derail. We can talk about that later.0
