i prefer the katch/mcardle cuz it bases ur tdee on lbm.. 155lbs at 15% with a 1.55 multiplier puts ur tdee at:2574cals... bmr:1661cals

3374 puts u 800cal over ur tdee.. too much IMO.. guess it depends on if gaining fat is something ur concerned about.. personally with a tdee of 2574 i wouldnt go over 3000cals.. my tdee is 3100 and i doubt id go over that myself.. i prefer to take it slower and not risk gaining fat :) u can always bump up ur cals.. losing fat sucks...

Thanks for the help 405! I will redo my diet a little and put it closer to 3000cals

405 do you think I have enough carbs and protein?

3000cals

300g pro
300g carbs
67g fat

is where id start... 40/40/20 for bulking is wat i plan on doing.. then adjust from there depending on results.. keep a close eye on bf% as well as LBM..

Sound's good I will give it a try and see where it get's me.
