    I recently cut from 271 to 225. I am 5’10. About 16-17% bmi. I ae 2500 cal a day. Now at 3000 not counting exercise calories. My macros are in the picture. The only difference when cutting I went .3 per gram per pound fat, protein the same, and the rest of calories came fro carbs

    How tall are you and what's your bodyfat %? To bulk to 265, especially for someone who sounds like they never did it is probably not good.
