TDEE
It is never exact, but it is pretty damn close. Also don't fall for the "a calorie is a calorie" meme. Eat clean and fulfill all of your nutritional needs.

you have enough energy to do what you want and if you're bulking, you're putting on weight.

Calculate your TDEE (calculators are out there).
If you wanna gain muscle, add 20% to it, ensuring AT LEAST .8 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight, and at least .4 grams of fat per lb of bodyweight, put the rest into whatever makes you feel good (high carbs that are low glycemic index is a must for me) and go.
If you wanna lose weight, do your TDEE MINUS 20%, and distribute your calories the same.
Also, read the sticky. Faggot.

in addition to what everyone else said you can weigh yourself on a weekly basis (usually i weigh myself a bunch of times monday/sunday and take the lowest measurement for consistency) and see if you're making about the right amount of progress and modify your calories accordingly
