Macros reached but calories still too low

Hey all,

I am making a bulking meal plan and used the calorie calculator on this website to find out that I need:

Calories:
3916

Carbs:
246-308

Protein:
210

Fats:
62-123

I have chosen basically all the foods that you would imagine a bodybuilder would eat and created a diet that fits these macros; however, my calorie count is still a good 500-750 low of 3916 calories while I'm meeting my macros. Why is this? If I add more calorie dense food, it just ramps up the macros much higher than I need.

Or is this calculator flawed?

Any thoughts?
