I'm 5ft 7, weighing 72kg... Looking to add size/lean muscle for a few more months before cutting. I have a sedentary job, but train in the gym at least 4-5 times per week and also play football one night per week.

Below are the macros I have calculated for bulking... I want to do this for 3 months and then begin a cut.

MACROS:

Calories - Bodyweight in lbs x 20 (159lbs X 20 = 3180kcals).

Protein - I'm going for 1g of protein per bodyweight in lbs = 159g

Fat – (Protein x 0.4) = 159lbs x 0.4 = 64g

Carbs - (Protein x 4) + (Fat x 9), then take this away from calories total, then divide by 4 = (159x4) + (64x9) = 1212. 3180-1212 = 1968/4 (4kcals per g in carbs) = 492g

Daily Macros:

Calories = 3180kcals
Protein = 159g
Fat = 64g
Carbs = 492g


Just wondering if what in doing so far is correct, any advice is welcomed.

Thanks.
