19, 5'8, 135 lbs
Lifting 4/5 (trying to get the 5th ses in isn't hard so I'm normally doing 5) a week. I'm walking around campus a good part of my day so I would say I'm lightly active. Doing cardio 1 time a week. I want to gain muscle but I'm okay with doing it slowly so I don't gain as much fat. My macros are :
250 c
125 p
54 f

does this look okay? These are my maintaince cals, I just bumped my carbs up 25 g because I was 2 week into maintaining and not gaining any weight so I was seeing if I could handle anymore.

Can I gain muscle with this macros?

    It doesn't look unreasonable provided total calories are adequate to maintain or slowly gain mass.

    Keep in mind that while the diet needs to be "not terrible", the training is what provides the stimulus for muscle growth, and so make sure that whatever program you are on provides you with a reasonable amount of training volume AND some form of progressive overload.
