Lean bulking help

[Vrilltrum27]

I’m 5’11, 15, and around 150 pounds and I want to lean bulk to around 170, however is there a way for me to bulk, whilst continuing to lose fat a build muscle? I workout 6 times a week and get around 8k-10k steps a day whilst doing cardio after each workout.

Is there a way to lean bulk to gain as little as fat as possible (I know there most likely will be some) while gaining muscle, please let me know and how many calories I should be eating along with protein intake.

if you dont wanna gain fat but still build muscle id just consider maintaining, aka maingaining, calculate your maintenance with a maintenance calculater or put all that info in to chat gpt since you will be able to be more specific with it, ofc it wont give you the excact maintenance but it will tell you more or less how much you should eat to neither loose or gain fat

so by doing that I could build muscle whilst losing fat

you didnt say anything about loosing fat, only to gain as little fat as possible, but yes as @0bs said, in the start you could do that but later it will be hard putting on muscle if being in a cal deficiet to loose fat, thus why you should maingain

Could I maingain while eating 2500 calories a day, 160-170 grams of protein?

bro i todl you before, calculate your maintenance, not going to be 100% accurate but still something close

didnt mean to be rude if it seemed that way, no way tho your maintenance is that low at 15 when also going to gym 6 times per week and walking 8-10k steps daily, seemed wierd so i did an analysis myself (on your stats) and got 2800-3100 which sounds way more accurate

You cannot lose fat mass while bulking, but you can lower your body fat percentage while bulking if skeletal muscle gain is more than body fat gain.

This can be done with a surplus of between 200 up to 300 kilocalories. Do not exceed this number because you will gain excessive adipose tissue if you do. Make sure to eat enough protein and drink enough water and sleep and rest.

just eat 1.5 gram of protein per pounds of BW and keep lifting, don't get to hung up on it, you can always cut.
