    Does this sound right?

    So I'm 37 years old 6' 4" 235 at 10%

    I figured my maintenance macros and calories to be as follows.
    Cals 3100
    P 293g
    c 556g
    f 117g

    I then figured out a diet, foods and such, I can live with while cutting. But it seems off to me. I'm eating a lot of food but "supposedly" it fits my macros for the cut.
    cal 2600
    p 252g
    c 240g
    f 89g

    Do the numbers look alright to your guys?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Without getting a calculator and working it out for you.. The first lot of macros seem wrong for the calorie amount but the second could be close. Remember 1g of protein and carbs is worth 4 calories. 1 gram of fat is worth 9 calories.

    Ahhh you're correct the carbs on maintain should be 256g and that will allow me to come in just about correct on the cut.

    I thought something was wayyyy off. Stupid cant read my own handwriting. Shoudla been a doctor.
