Macro Cycle, any good?

[WATP]

Weight = 187lbs
BMR = 2010
LMB = 145
Age = 20
Goal = Hypertrophy / Bulk

I'm fed up looking at the scale and not seeing it move, either the scales are broke or I'm not eating enough. Ofcourse it's because I'm not eating enough. Time to stock up, and follow a meal plan. I'm currently 187lbs, I'm not following a meal plan at the moment but I'm estimating I'm eating around 2500 cals a day, maintaining my weight. I have thought about just adding an extra meal or just eating more, I just EAT and it's not all that balanced as it stands.

How do you cycle or count your diet? Calories, or by bodypound or Marco?

Macro Cycle Diet sticks out to me, 40:40:20 (other any other recommendations?)

Calculating total calories however is giving me a sore head, so many protocols and recommendations out there available it's a head spin. I've listed a few below.

* CT's lean bulking protocol is LBM of 150lbs = 3037 kcals
* (Weight x 18) is another = 3330 kcals
* CW's recommendations is LBM in lbs x 16 = 2320 kcals

Tossing between CT's and (Weight x 18). Here's an example of the marcounits for CT's, any thoughts on this please?

- Total Daily Calories: 3100 Kcal
- Protien: 310g Grams (40%)
- Carbs: 310g Grams (40%)
- Fats: 69g Grams (20%)

Just need to structure meals around this now, and see how it goes, if no gain, i'll just simple add more Total Daily Calories or drink more milk

Thoughts?
