Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hey this question is coming from a lady. I am 5ft and 114 pounds. 14% body fat. I already competed in a fitness contest and didn't like it. I want to compete in a bb contest maybe next summer. i am upping my calories to 2500 a day and then doing 30 carbs. my macros are 40/30/30, is this too much?
need to gain 10 pounds for BB contest

You'll see soon enough. Adjust accordingly
Do you want to gain 10 lbs of muscle or gain 10 lbs? Big difference.
I have gained 10 lbs of stage weight ( muscle) in a year. You are at 14% bf and will need to come down. Even if you gained 10 lbs of Muscle you will still not be 10 lbs heavier to go on stage because you need to lose the bodyfat.
I would lower the fats to around 15-20% and up the protein and carbs a little.
It is like they said previously. You will be able to tell in time. You need to find what works for you. I do t know how much cardio you are doing, but do cardio to help lower the bf.

Indeed... No one else can say for you
10lbs will take a while to gain if it is good quality weight. You dont want to gain sloppy weight just to add it fast.
2500 calories at 114 lbs is a hell of a lot for most. I can tell you that much. Give it a shot if you want abd if you notice fat coming on too much scale it back
