    I put your details into this calc, http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/

    I assume you entered moderately active? as your tdee is higher that id expect.

    But set as lean massing it gives 2315 cal on rest days and 3086 on workout days. with extra carbs and fats.

    what level of activity did you select?

    Moderately Active

    my fats were 124 on workoutdays and 82.5 on rest days is that right?


    also carbs and fats 50 50 split or should i change it

    50/50 is fine, you need the carbs to fuel your work out.

    The option is personal preference really
