    Calculating caloric maintenance, and calories needed for bulk.

    Hey, I plan on going on a 12-15 week bulk. I go to different websites and get a caloric maintenance level. No website says the same thing. I also hate how broad it is with workouts.

    I am 6'3", 206lbs. Down from 217 lbs in January. I plan to get down to 200 lbs by May 10th. Then I want to start bulking until mid-late August.

    Here is my plan:

    6x Weekly, Push/Pull/Legs
    4x Weekly, Run/Sprints/Run/Sprints
    1x Weekly, Swimming Workout
    3x Weekly, Calisthenics

    Assume I won't hit all of the workouts, what's a good caloric level? My maintenance is about 3300 calories apparently, so I'm thinking, maybe 3600 calories or something?

    Going to a calculator after you've started teaching calories and body weight for a while means you haven't learned a thing. Use the data that you've collected to determine your calories.
    I can tell time. Time cannot tell me.

    Formerly LactoseTolerant. I'm not very imaginative.
