Hi Matt

Welcome. I agree with a simple approach and do not like counting calories. What I would suggest is do one of the Rippetoe programs, and eat alot and sleep. If you do not gain weight within a month, then you are either not eating enough or you have a tapeworm. If you have a tapeworm, go to the doctor (you may want to save the tapeworm for a cutting phase) and if you do not have a tapeworm, you probably you should count calories for a bit to get an idea of what you need to eat.

Good luck and welcome
