Hey,
as a bloke, right off the bat your recommended daily calorie intake for weight maintenance is between 2000-2500. You seem pretty active, so you'd maybe want to look at eating around 2800 -3500 calories daily. Start on the lower end of the scale and work up if you are not seeing any significant changes.
On a clean bulk, you should be able to put on 15lb of muscle in around 6 months (without supplements) This may be a little quicker if you are supplementing with creatine or beta-alanine,0 -
Thank you im really active but my brain dose not want to admit to myself I am for some reason especially when it comes to food, than you very much for the response, any chance you know how to calculate some accurate macros for me?0

Myself I've just kick started my bulk again and I try to get in about 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight. Some folk like to do 2g per pound, but it's personal preference, the difference wwon't be astounding.
I like to breakdown my macros' to around 30% protein 30% fats and 60% carbs. I am on quite the dirty bulk myself though, you could up the protein and the fats and drop some carbs for a leaner approach. (Olive oil is a great way to get some good healthy fats into your system, cook everything with it)0 -
