    Duh. That's because n0ob always gives 130%.

    ETA: Oh, and OP, it looks like you're more likely to give many of us advice on bulking and not the other way around. Not trying to steer you away from MFP, (and doubt I will since you're planning to use the calorie tracker in the future), but the bodybuilding.com forums are far more likely to have more of the information you're seeking.

    ETAM: In my opinion, once you meet a certain minimum amount of fat for health and an ideal minimum of protein, the specific ratio is less important than the amount of daily calories to support the bulk. (That was worded horribly, but can't figure out a way to say it better. Perhaps someone else will say this how I meant to say it.)

    in all seriousness i've seen 50/25/25 cpf and 50/20/30 used a lot. You don't need as much protein while bulking because you're always on a surplus and thus your body doesn't need to make glucose from muscle tissue. And, you'll probably be eating so many calories that the 25% protein will still be a lot.

    I am doing a 45/35/20 right now for my bulk. I don't go off of a set macro ratio though. I adjust my calories as needed based on the movement of the scale. I always try to keep my protein between 1.5-1.75 bw and fats around 0.4xbw. Fill in the rest of the cals with carbs.

    Well ok. I pretty much just eat at a calorie deficit and lift heavy. Bulking is so easy for me, I don' t even have to try hard.

    The macros I use for quick bulking are:

    40% nutella, 30% cheese fries, 30% oreos (double stuff. Leave the single stuff for the dieters)

    ironically, that would be rather effective with proper lifting...
