Male Bodybuilders under 15% BF that track daily

I'd like to be friends with some male bodybuilders that are under 12% bodyfat that track regularly. I'm having some trouble lately deciding my caloric intake, I am at about 16-18% BF, and I wear a bodymedia to track calories burned, but wanting to see how my diet stacks up to guys that are fitter than I am.
I had a 6 pack before, but it took me a long time to get it (longer than I wanted it to), and I was considerably less muscular than I preferred. I gained some weight "Bulking" with beer and stopping lifting, and want to get back to where I was, but more muscular.
Stats
Age - 27
Weight - 200''
Height - 5'10''
BF% - 16-18% (BIM measured, and estimated by measurements)
Bench max: 245
Squat Max: 295ish
Average Daily total burn according to Bodymedia: ~3500/cal day
Diet:
2000cal/day + exercise calories (Average about 2500cal/day
30% Carbs
40% Protein
30% Fats
Workouts
Cardio: Moderate to Intense, but no more than 5x a week @ 30minutes each
Weights: 3-4 Sets of 5-8 reps, 5+ times a week. Attempt to come close to max in each exercise 1x a week.
Basically, am I just impatient and eating/lifting/cardio just fine, do I need to increase cals?
