Currently on 2650 calories a day and losing weight. I’m 70kg, 5ft 11 aged 30 and wanna put some muscle on. Would you recommend upping my calories and if so by how many?

    You can up your cals 2-300 per day for a couple weeks to 1 month and see what the scale does. repeat untill you are gaining a little, maybe 2-3 lbs per month

    Will need an applicable training program in addition to a suitable caloric surplus if you want to “build muscle”...
