Isocaloric Lean Bulking
I started a lean bulk today. My goal is about 3600 calories per day. I'm 6'0", 185 pounds, and 19 years old. I weight train 4 days per week, do cardio 1-3 days per week, and do physically demanding work for a living. On days when I work and weight train, I may eat an additional 300-400 calories. Does anyone think there is something wrong with following an isocaloric macro distribution (33/33/33)?
The only meals where I don't plan on following this guideline is my PWO meal, when I skip on fat besides that which is in oats, and my before bed meal, during which I skip on carbs.
I am skeptical about intaking more than 1200 calories/300 grams of protein. I don't forsee any benefit from the classic 40/40/20 caloric split, which would leave me eating 360 grams of protein per day. As well, I don't like the idea of too many carbs because I am an endo/meso. I feel this kind of caloric split might work for me, but would like to hear opinions.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Not at all, solid plan.

Although I've never tried isocaloric I see nothing wrong with it and feel it would be a great plan as well
