    just wondering about going back on a bulk diet after a cut

    right now im happy with my meal plan, all i did was cut my carb portions down to get the cals i needed ,protein stayed the same

    so i plan on 3300 for the bulk , and the plan was to leave fat were it is and just increase carbs , fats are around 50-70g, protein around 220-270 all depending on what meals i chose each day. And i weigh everything i eat.

    should i just increase carbs only or raise fats as well ?

    If you keep protein and fat the same, you'll need 400-500g of carbs each day to hit 3300 cals (depending on where you fall in those protein/fat ranges).
    Personally I'd rather more fat. Just to make it easy to get the calories/food volume in.
    Maybe 250g protein. 100g fat, 350g carbs, maybe even more fat.
