Questions
I went over the macros from the cutting sticky, but only slightly. Without adding in meal 7, I my meals seemed way too spread out throughout the day (in order to eat my PPWO an hour after workout). Or the serving were just ridiculously small in order to eat every 8 hours.
So I added in Meal 7, which added a little more fat to the macros.
Also, with only six meals, it would be 50 g of protein per meal which seems like a lot to process.
My PWO is at 75 g, does this seem high for cutting?
Do these daily macros seems reasonable? They seem so low to me, but I'm new to cutting.
I started this diet today, and I feel kinda hungry all the time, is this to be expected?
Last question: On my non weight training days, I was thinking of just eating a low gi carb source instead of dex with real protein instead of whey.
Any other suggestions on how diet should differ on non-weight training days?
Thanks guys for the time and energy looking into this. I try to spend the time and energy posting it neatly, researched, with calories and macros calculated and pics to help everyone make as accurate an assessment as possible.
Any help is appreciated.
