ok, so trying to roughly whip this out. and i've never really applied it. i want to make one estimate and skate from there, so i only want to do this once if that's possible. after i'll just count grams. i don't understand it very well and am annoyed when i have to express it. i may have to edit this or explain my thinking because i'm not sure i can convey this so that it's understandable.
i've got a watch that helps me determine the amount of calories i burn when i wear it. it's not entirely accurate, but i shall use it anyways.
4 cal = g of protein
4 cal = g of carb
right off i need to consume 255g of protein that = 1020 cal from protein. so that's 40 - 50%, or should be. it's non negotiable and constant. kinda makes things easy because i have to think less and do less Attachment 161190
so i got either 60% or 40% to work with concerning carbs and fat of my total cal burned in a day. 1 being a workout day and the other 2. being a non workout day.
my watch says i burn this
work out day high = 2,628 cal = protein on this day = 38% (lets assume this is 50% though)
non work out day low = 1,999 = protein on non w/o day = 51% (lets assume this is 50% though)
so i'm left with 979 cal going to fat and carbs on non day
and 1,608 cal going to fat and carbs on a work out day
fat = 9 cal a gram
carb = 4 cal a gram
fat = 30% of all macros, or 788cal of fat. that = 87g of fat
carb = 20% of all macros, or 525cal of carb. that = 131g of carb
so if i want to make things easy on myself i can scale all this shit like below
protein on a daily for work out days = 255 = 10 25g shakes a day, or 8 shakes and 2 meat meals
carb on a daily for work out days = 131g up or down a few 10ths (90 - 131 - 170) this is about 4 meals of 1/4 cup of steel cut oates a day
fat on a daily for work out days = 87g up or down a few 10ths ( 70 - 87 - 90 ) I have no idea how i'm going to find/regulate fat consumption unless i gram out olive/coconut oil or something
ultimately am i right? this is a pain in the ass. should i be doing this?
non work out day
66g of fat
99g of carbs
255g of protein
so make all this annoying shit easy and i have this neat little scale below
daily
66g - 90g of fat
99g - 131g of carb
255 - 280g of pro
and now this is all i have to think about?
