Body fat around 9% /BMI 22
I'm trying to get to 200lb and Ive been using the My Fineness Pal app (which is AMAZING btw they have literally every food/supplement basically)
I put my target weight at 200lb and all my info and in order to gain 1lb a week I should be eating 3020 calories a day. Is this good enough? I eat all good food, never fast food (salmon steak chicken pasta cheese tuna nuts)
No one can answer that question... Everybody is different, start eating that amount of calories and monitor your weight gain/loss over an extended period of time and adjust to suit your needs and goals....
180x .91 + 163lbs LBM
163x15=2450 ( so yes 500 over is a good number to add great place to start)
Also I wouldn't go by the macro split that app tells u. It recommended 50% fat, 20 prot, 30 carbs for me during cutting.

And training. U gotta make them muscles grow if u want em to grow. Least u got age on ur side. Tick as many boxes that get you to where u wanna be. The more things training. Diet (usually eating enough is the problem) diets the key to everything. but i do think.sometimes u can emerse urself so much. U lose ur way. Eat more. Train hard. But! train right!!! thats another one only u can answer.
Ur body will do the rest
