-LSB-...] recently worked out my daily
macro intake for my new program, and I'm taking in roughly 200 grams of protein, 150 grams of carbs and 55 grams of -LSB-...]
You mentioned intermittent fasting, but I'm curious if your overall calorie /
macro intake changed much during that time.
The point here is to eventually find out what level
of macro intake you need in order to maintain a stabile percentage of body fat.
The benefit is that I also know exactly how much lean weight I have, 130 lbs, which will make calculations for my desired protein intake more accurate (although calculating my
exact macro intake is one of the things I most dislike about tracking).
To determine your
ideal macro intake, you need to know how many calories you need each day.
Be careful — if your body fat gain is bigger than 1 % per week, hold
your macros intake for another week.
Your putting in the hard work in order to get the body you deserve and the last thing you want to deal with is people telling shaming you Calorie /
Macro intakes.
But, you only need to buy these supplements if you can't make
your macro intake through whole foods only.
Simply subtract
your macros intake from the TDEE to get your calorie deficit.
I will assess your previous calorie /
macro intake (if you have never tracked that I'll have you eat «normally» for a few days while tracking to get this estimate) and recommend «baseline macros» for you to adhere to.
While theoretically possible through exact calorie /
macro intake, from a practical standpoint, I've never seen it done before.
However, these nutritious foods can have a big effect on
your macro intake without you realizing it.
tl; dr: focus your attention on tracking your calorie and
macro intake daily and eat what you like to reach those targets.
