Ok so iv been sick for the last 4 days not able to eat anything except junky food and thats if i even feel ok to eat..most of the time i feel like vomiting. I was in the middle of a cut at 11%bf going down to 6% weighing 150lbs and at a height of 5'8. I decided i want to stop cutting and put on some size because i probably lost muscle from not eating for long periods of time. I read the bulking primer and concluded this.
RMR-1747 calories
W/ activity level- 2400 calories (1747 x 1.375)
Intake-2900 calories
Protein- 150g, 600 calories
Fat- 30%, 96g, 870 calories
Carbs- 50%, 362g, 1450 calories

Does that sound like a good break down of my macros? Also what do you think about the nutrient timing? Ill be eating about 8 meals a day (i have school so ill be up from 6am-10pm). Should i eat divide carbs for the first 4 meals then fat for the last 4 meals and a steady stream of protein for all 8 meals? I liked laynes article because it showed percentages for the macros per meal (20% total carbs breakfast, 35% preworkout etc.) Can someone please help me out? Help is greatly appreciated. Also whats a good weight goal and bodyfat goal?

You probably don't wanna hear this but I would continue on the cut. Any 'weight' you lost is just water/glycogen.

As far as the bulk I personally like to keep carbs more around 60% and fat at around 15-20%.

Continue to cut? I heard from other people around the forums that i should be bulking now. What are some of your reasons for continuing to cut? I want to pack on more muscle definitely because im feeling kinda small. Its the fall of my senior year of high school so i wanna be bigger and ripped for next summer.

Because you are at 11% and should probably be in the single digits. It's easier to gain lean mass when you are lean as opposed to gaining lean mass when you are fat. Cut to 7-8% which won't take long and then bulk and do things right.

Ok so when that time comes does the diet above sound good?

Well you will have different stats at the end of your diet. 1g/lb. Carbs 50-60% - I like 60% and fat around 15% check out the bulking primer and if you still have questions ask away.

Can i please get more on nutrient timing? Should i separate everything into every meal evenly or do carbs+protein the first 4 meals then protein+fats the least 4 meals? I likes laynes article because it mentioned 20% total carbs for breakfast and 35% preworkout etc. Can someone please help me. What about days i dont lift like off days?
