‼️HELP‼️Macro’s for a lean bulk

Hi everyone! My name is Will and I am new to the MyFitnessPal forum! I like the community here. People trying to change their life through fitness and nutrition! I *kitten* love it:) to give a little background, I am 19 years old, 160 lbs and I for the past few months hit a plateau in my fitness journey. I suffered from depresssion and I’ve stopped training as hard and eating as clean as I did for the past year. I’ve always been that chubby cute kind of kid you know... I was fat when I was youger but that changed when I started to go at the gym for 2 years or so... I trained mostly with heavy weights with an average of 8 reps for 4 rounds type of work out! I’d say that I lost a lot of body fat and gained a lot of muscle in the past few years (1-2) now I am around 11-12% body fat( even tho the tests says I’m at 10%) I still do not believe that my physique reflects the 10% body fat male body... furthermore, I decided to become fit as *kitten* because I like the confidence that it gives me overall! I used to go out and girls would ask me my name for no reason and *kitten* and I kind of miss that confidence boost the endorphin gave me... Sooooo ! I am looking to gain lean muscle mass! I met a professional trainer and nutritionist and we concluded I would be doing a certain type of workout which includes heavy lifting and hard CrossFit type of stuff;) my doubt are on the nutrition side of the program and I hope some of you could help me with my questions. My trainer wants to start me at 5 work outs a week. With a macros split of 45% prot- 25% carb- 30% fat! For a grand total of 2400-2500 calories each day!! That comes around 270g of protein, 150-160g of carbs and 80g of fat or so... His methodology recommand that exact macro split for the following reasons: 1st: I need a lot of protein in order to give my muscle no choice but to grow. The carbs are as low as this because I try to lean bulk, so carbs are low at the moment b cause of that. I still get enought to give the energy needed to my muscle in order to workout properly! It’s not a low carb diet. That’s what he said! And fats to fill the missing calories and to make me feel full... he’s saying that we will arrange depending on the way my body reacts to this macro split. And like what we will mess around with carbs and fats depending on my body fat fluctuation... he explained me that one day, my muscle will be big enought so that They will need way more energy that they need right now, which leads to a higher calorie diet in order to only maintain my weight... the goal is to build as much muscle with the less body fat so that one day I could stay lean on a “normal” 40carbs-30protein-30 fats IIFYM diet... and that to get their I need my muscle to grow to make my actual 2300 calories maintenance go up to as much as 3000 y’all know what I mean! I however feels like the protein are way to high in terms of grams... I feel like 230 g would be more than enought but If I did dropped my protein intake by 50g or so, Would I need more carbs?? That’s where I’m confused!! I will of course try it for a few weeks to see how my body reacts but I would like to know what you fitness gurus think about that specific macro split ? what are your experiences? What works best for you? What macros split helped you best to lean bulk? Thank you very much to the ones who will replie! See ya people of MyFitnessPal


PS: I l know that what truly matters at the end of the day is consistenssy, and calories deficit! If I wanna gain weight, I need to eat 250-500 cals over my maintenance, and the inverse is true if I wanna lose weight... but the thing is that I don’t give a *** about weight! I give a *** about my physique and the way I feel... sooooo yeye! And I’ve tried a lot of different routines in the past, like intermittent fasting until the afternoon but that stratedgy does not work for me! I tend to overeat salty foods due to craving from not eating for 16+ hours... I also hate the feeling of eating big as** meals and the feeling of bloating it gives me afterwards... Sorry to my kinobody bro’s so no need to explain the basic calories deficit thing! My buddy Greg O’GALLAGHER already brained washed me with it so I’m good! I juste want tips for macro split to get lean and In shape, thanks folks
