    Macro's

    a quick question. lets say if im dealing with a kcal intake of 2200 how should the percentages of macro's be spread 60/20/20 protein carb efa's? This of course is in a cutting diet. thanks for the reply's in advance.

    I would say split it 55/25/20 Pro/Carb/Fat.......


    Break it down to around 300g Protein, 120g Carbs, 60g fat......

    It's not exact but somewhere around there

    Exactly...... this is the best advice you will get bro. See what works for you and do it. As you can see DCB and me have to use different percentages to get to the same goal

    hmm.. i go by a little formula of 1.5 g of protein by 1 lbs of LBM, carbs for pwo, ppwo and greens with a meal or 2.. rest is made up by fat.. more or less play with the numbers see how it works out..

    Thanks bro's for the quick response , i had to cut my kcals down to match the weight i have lost. I personally have to write everything down that i consume or i get pi$$ed i ddnt at the end of the day. So those macro spreads well come in handy when i building this deit tonight.
