    And on that note, I have a very hard time believing that a male is going to bulk on 2500 calories...that's right around maintenance for the average male. I'm oldish with a desk job and exercise regularly, but nothing crazy and I maintain on around 2800-3000 on average.

    I bet ya I could... I'm 5'9". currently 159-161lbs (after losing 80), roughly 16-17% BF, desk job, new lifter doing 3x week dumbbells only- roughly 30 mins per session. With no lifting/exercising, so my normal daily routine before I decided to build more muscle, I maintain at 1900-2100 calories per day.

    2500 would put me in the range of 400-600 above .. accounting for new workout activity, that leaves a decent weekly calorie surplus for me. But this should all demonstrate just how personal these figures all are. Of course, there are generalities that can be made, and basic assumptions since we are all the same species with similar internal processes... but enough variation that nothing is for sure.
