    Ok here are my stats
    Weight:90 kg

    Height:184 cm (measured last summer)

    Bf% I would say over 10 but not more than 20.

    Nutrition macronutriet intake:
    Protein:295 g
    Carbs:495 g
    Fats:90 g


    I need to get my camera fixed so I could take some pictures. When should I take my pic? I mean right after I wake up so my body is empty from nutrients?
    Also I noticed when I flex standing in front of mirror I tend to have little bit fat on my sides. When I ''pose'' sideways my ab area looks decent and close to flat.

    Well that's a huge range bro. That could mean you have a LBM of anywhere from 176lbs to 158lbs. Can you post up some pics so we can give you an educated guess?

    It's still hard to say because we don't know your BF% (most important), but i'd be willing to bet your carbs are stupid high. You're consuming nearly 4000 calories; how is your body reacting to that? Are you gaining clean weight? Are you storing bodyfat? This will be the true answer to your question - you need to monitor your progress and adjust. I can tell you that if you are storing bodyfat, carbs would be the first macro i'd reduce... bringing them to 370g would reduce overall calories to 3500 which might suit you better. Again, it all boils down to how your body is responding.

    Gotcha. Yep, that would be a good time. Take a few pics - 3 relaxed, no flexing at all - from the front, back, and side. Then take a few flexed - front double bi, rear double bi, and side/however you want. Leg pics will help also. The more you can give us, the better we can assess.

    Unflexed is the key here. If you see fat unflexed, you have bodyfat in that area.
