macronutrient counting.....?
guys im finally taking the plunge and dishing away with my calorie counting in favor of macro counting. i have done some research but im still very confused. i am 175 lbs and my daily maintenance is around 2800. therefore to cut i should be eating at least 2300 cals. how do i go about this? do i just count macros then convert to calories to see if im at par? others have said just to reach 265 grams protein (175 x 1.5) and everything follows? there must be a simple straightforward method.
taken from jonh berardi's website,
"Essentially, you would add up and record the grams of each macronutrient consumed at each meal. At the end of the day, the goal is to come within 5 grams of your daily need for each macronutrient."
this sounds simple enough, so now how do i get my exact macro requiremnts, i tried the nutri calculator of ar and its hella wrong. please help. thanks
