First draft of my bulk diet up for review.

[Dpyle]

Dp good luck dude!

At 160lbs 12%bf u have about 141lbs LBM

This puts rough maintenance around 2100cals (LBMx15)

3550cals gives u a serious surplus. Unless ur one of those guys who cant get fat it may be too many.

Im bulking and have roughly 180lbs LBM and am using 3200cals.. But i can get fat

U mite fare better to start around 2600cals and add them as u go.

Food choices look pretty good

The cals are based on the upper 2 activity levels of the Harris Benedict formula. I may be able to dial cals back a bit after the summer heat subsides, but as it stands right now I started a new job a couple months ago w diet hovering between 2700 and 3000 cals per day and I've dropped about 3-5 lbs. That's the only reason for the high cal count right now. If the fat gain comes on too fast I'll definitely make adjustments from there.

Goes to show formulas dont know everything aNd its important for us to figure out our individual caloric needs. harris benedict i personally do not like cuz it uses total body weight.

Btw with ur stats u must have one heck of a metabolism to eat 3000cals and lose weight!
