Recalculated my TDEE and Macros and something doesnt add up

[novastepp]

I have been cutting for the past 5-6 months. I lost almost 20lbs and look much better. I am pretty happy with where my body fat is so I have decided to start a bulking cycle. I want to do this right and gain as much muscle as possible while minimizing fat gain. I just finished recalculating my TDEE and had a couple questions. I used the TDEE formula on this site and chose "very active". I work out five days a week and have a pretty physical job on top of that. Am I right in choosing this activity level? Secondly, I calculated the macros of what im eating now and I am eating right around 2,750 calories a day. I have being eating this amount for awhile and have been stuck around 205-207lbs. Eating that far under TDEE shouldnt I have been dropping serious weight? If anything, I thought I had been eating maintenance all this time because my weight hasnt really changed. My only thought is a messed up my TDEE somehow. I am 26 years old 207lbs 6'2".

Forget what it was. That cycle is over. Your body may have adjusted to a new LBM and you weren't as active as you thought.

Focus on what you estimate now and move forward.

Calculate your needs based on desired LBM from bulking at eat to that number.

Whats the diet look like? Minimizing fat gain while bulking comes down to proper diet, not only calories.

Minimizing fat gain while bulking comes down to proper diet, not only calories.

Really focusing on nutrition is something that's pretty new for me. At the risk of sounding like a total idiot, what constitutes a "proper diet?" Does that just mean proper calories AND macros?
