Here's my questions to you (you don't need to answer, just think about the answers):

-Would it be easier to lose fat when you're intake is 15% fat or when its 20% fat?

-Would you gain more muscle with 40% of your intake being protein or with 50% being protein?

Isn't the ratio 35% fats and 15% carbs?

Fuck. Yeah it is. I got mixed up

In any event, your carbs are still high with the bulk ratio...Here are the numbers I came up with for bulk and cut using 1500cals and a sedentary lifestyle.

Cutting (Grams) Pro Fat Carbs
Sedentary 188 58 56

Bulking (Grams) Pro Fat Carbs
Sedentary 150 33 150

You can see the main difference maker is the carbs. Just because the calories add up to 1500 doesnt mean the grams have to be equal for cut/bulk btw. Also 1g of fat is 9 cals, 1g pro/carb is 4 cals.
