A client's goal is muscle gain (lean bulk), and their maintenance TDEE is 2,500 kcal. To support hypertrophy, a modest caloric surplus is recommended. If the coach recommends a 10% surplus and a protein target of 2.0 g/kg for this 85 kg client, what are the client's new total daily calories and protein grams?

Accepted Answer
