Do I get a prize for saying that toning is something that your muscles do?0

Scary as it sounds, what you actually want to do is bulk - gain weight, hopefully a significant proportion of which will be muscle. Eat at a surplus, eat adequate protein (roughly 2x body weight in kgs) and lift heavy weights (predominantly compound exercises). That's the basics, the rest is all fine tuning0

sigh - you actually want more carbs during a bulk ...

TDEE and that crap doesn't work for me. I have a slow metabolism so if I were to eat and the recommended amount I would be overweight. It's best to just track on average your daily calorie intake then add a hundred more calories every couple of weeks. For macros I use and suggest 40C, 30P, 30F. Staying at least 120lbs should be fine for your height.0

Um, it sounds like you are using TDEE - just not what an online estimator gave you.0 -

Okay okay, sorry if I'm not an expert on those terms. I'm saying the recommended daily calorie intake the calculator recommends, is a high number for me. FYI, I do have a slow metabolism.0 -

unless you have some medical condition that you have not referenced, your metabolism is not fast, slow, or dead, it is just what it is, which is a metabolism...

Well you can spot increase muscle but the fat will be determined by genetics.1 -

Unfortunately its a misconception. Metabolism is the process of utilizung absorbed energy in your cells. And digestion is the process of breaking down foods in the GI system..0
