Great thanks both! Last question - any ideas on macro split? Is it better to have more carbs or is overall calories just important for now? Thanks!

I guess it's time to increase the cals then! Just on the back of your advice, would you say jump straight from around 2300/2400 up to 3500 and see what happens? Or increase it up gradually? Just thinking my metabolism probably isn't on fire tbh...

Thanks for the advice, it just seems crazy to need that much to gain - Previously I was a lot more underweight than this and gained back a lot of it on around 2000, suppose I didn't move this much during the day which I guess would be a factor?

Thanks everyone for your advice, I do really appreciate it! I suppose to me it seems bizarre that I would need to eat much more than that to gain weight, when essentially my BMR sits somewhere around 1650. Perhaps I can try adding in a few more cals - do you reckon its worth doing this gradually or a big jump? Thanks!
