    eat the same everyday, you are growing when you are resting

    I have been training in the gym lifting weights for almost 10 years.
    the most progress i've seen is that i started at 17 with 135 pounds and now im 147.
    i would like to get ripped and lean . maybe weight around 165
    the 2700 calories was given my "My fitness pal app"
    i train 5 days a week,
    try to always go to failure or just to train as heavy has i can.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Sounds almost like me.
    I have been hitting the gym for about 19 years.
    Started at ~135, currently sit at 177.....

    Got to eat right, workout, and make sure you take some rest days.

    If you are not doing anything like Intermittent Fasting.....
    Then I would set your caloric intake to whatever you have figured it to be, and eat that daily.
    Your protein should be
    0.8 - 1.0 gr/ lb of bodyweight
    Fat should be
    0.4gr/lb of bodyweight (minimum)
    Carbs can make up the rest of your calories to get you to your caloric goal

    Damn...man I was 177 back in November....seems like ages now.
    I am at 168 now. sheesh

    Don't make the same mistake I did on my first bulk and gain too fast, you will spend more time later trying to trim the excess fat.
