Hey all,
To preface, I am a 20 year old male, 145lb, 6'1. (photo below)
I was 170lb at the beginning of winter and lost substantial weight since then and feel great. Obviously, I am too skinny now and would like to put on muscle. I just started the Fierce 5 program and it's going very well. What I want to make sure I am doing correctly is the bulking aspect of it. I am using myfitnesspal to track my caloric surplus (2600 a day) but this past week that I have started bulking, my macros seem to be kind of wack (according to myfitnesspal). I have read in other threads that it's best to just use the app for calorie counting and not so much macros. For example, today I had rolled oats for breakfast, a protein shake around noon with peanut butter, a banana, and almond milk, and for dinner whole grain lentil pasta with meat crumbles, and sautéed vegetables. After punching all of this in, it already says I am 18 grams over my fat limit (78 total). How can that be? Or is that irrelevant? Any other bulking tips would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
