60/25/15 macros for cutting ?

[MR-FQ320]

5'11, 215lb, 12%bf.

Would anybody wholly disagree with my macro plan of 60p/25c/15f ? The carbs will be at breakfast but mainly before afternoon workout, and a refeed day at weekend to fill my muscles back up - plan on 40/40/20 for that. Oh, I'm carb sensitive so that's the reason, and I'm being aggressive. Thanks.

I always believed set values, rather than percentages

So for me it's always been 1-1.5g protein per lb, 0.3-0.5g fat per lb, and the rest carbs. Seemed to work with me.

I have tried 40/40/20 in the past and I have to make drastic changes to incorporate lower fats which do not fit well for me as I enjoy my scrambled eggs and PB.

If it works for you, then keep going with it. We are all different individually.

That much protein will (potentially) turn into carbs anyway. Why not run 70% fat, 20% protein, and <10% carbs. Works great for cutting, for most anyway.

I've been toying with higher fat and less carbs but not down to 20% protein. I will have to read the link when get s moment.

So after reading that I'm going with 50/25/25

What is your percentage if you instead do 1g protein/lbm (Lean Body Mass), Fat and <10% carbs? Just curious!

Looks solid.

But for me, I always put myself @ semi-active for my activity level (workout 5x a day with daily walking of about 6km). It's given me results, but be wary of that activity level. If after 10 days no drop in the scale then try dropping the activity level which will auto set the calories to probably 2,000
