How many calories should I be eating to gain muscle?

Pretty straigh foward question??

I’m 75kg (165 pounds)
I know it takes more than calories to get ripped, but I just need to know calories.

First, you have to figure out your maintenance calories, you do that by eating enough so you don’t gain or loose weight, that is your maintenance calories, to gain weight, you add 500 calories to that number. that should be enough to gain muscle. Also, getting "ripped" is the complete opposite of what you want, getting ripped means loosing weight, fat, and getting definition.
