    Default Macronutrients Help

    Hi was looking for a bit of advice on macronutrients
    i am wanting to bulk up but just trying to figure out the right amounts of macronutrients i need
    i went onto www.bodybuilding.com and used the calculator on that and these are the results i got

    weight-75kg
    calories-2640
    protein-581grams per day
    carbs-508grams per day
    fat-161 grams per day

    was just wondering if this seems right? too much too little etc..
    any advice would be greatly apreciated

    hahaha no i had a look at that calculator and it clearly has a fault.

    calories should be - roughly 3750
    protein - roughly 275
    carbs - roughly 350
    fats - roughly 130

    this may need tweaking depending on your BMR and genetic make up.
