5'8"
209
13%BF

I consume about 250-300 g protein, 250 carbs, 50-70 g of unsaturated fats.
I am trying to get as big as possible but all lean mass... should i adjust my diet at all?

Well, at most you are consuming almost 2900 calories. What do you think?

You've taken the effort to count your macro's but havne't even looked at the amount of calories you need first. Basics before details...

I was thinking about 3000-3300 should I consume more calories to gain lean mass?

Yep. Around 3300 and gauge that for a good week, maybe 2 and if yoiu arne't gaining then add another 200 on to that in proportional ratios (40/40/20 carbs/protein/fat) until you start gaining. Then readjust every week or two as you gain more weight. You have to constantly keep adding as you add new muscle.

Right off the bat, 250g of carbs isn't enough.

Bulk or cut.........one at a time. Establish some sick mass and work from there. Your only gonna frustrate yourself and get mediocre results the way your doin it IMO. Increase cals and complex carbs, protein looks good. This is advice you'll get from anyone with moderate bodybuilding knowledge.

Yes...I agree with everyone else on the carbs. Just add some more and you should be doing well.
