    My question is, is there an ideal amount of calories to eat over maintenance in order to grow? Most common I see is 500. So should I prep for 3200 cal a day or would an even 3000 be just as good?
    Eat 500 kcal above your TDEE if you want to increase your body weight.
    My other question is what would be the ideal ratios of p/c/f?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well bro. Let me tell you something; You should only eat excess calories on the busiest day, the day of training. On your day off, you can eat on your TDEE, or up to 10% below it. On your total rest day - without training, your body will need less energy to function.You can split your macronutrients as follows - 40% Protein and Carbohydrate, and 20% Fat. If you want to lower your fat a little you can play with these percentages, leaving your carbohydrate intake at 45%, protein at 40%, and fat at 15% ...Eat 500 kcal above your TDEE if you want to increase your weight.hug!!
