so I'm starting my lean bulk in a day or two & I'm putting my goals to gain 0.5lbs a week for a total of 2lbs a month, but i want to make sure its muscle gains and not fat gains. If I eat 300 calories over maintenance then I should but good right?

    More details needed. Male? Female? height, weight, training routine, body fat start point?

    You cannot avoid SOME fat gain, but you can control how much

    Roughly half will most likely be fat, even with a small deficit. It's one of the perils of bulking and is the reason why you follow a bulk with a cut.

    But 300 over TDEE should be a good start. Aim to get about .8g of protein per lb (a little more if you would like).
