Macro Question

[jkilla13]

Hey Fellas, got a quick question for you. I'm sitting here writing up my diet and adding all my macros so yall can go over it for me but I've noticed that everything has small amounts of everything. For instance, meal one is egg whites and oatmeal which is a pro/carb meal but there is still a small amount of fat in there. Do I include this in the macros? It's something like 3 g or something like that but does it still count? If this is the case, I guess there is no real "true" pro/carb or pro/fat meal becase there will always be that one little carb or that 1 g of fat right? Also, flax oil I noticed also has cals, do I include these? Because i noticed that 15 g is 225 cals, I guess this is right just didnt expect it? Anyway, thanks in advance guys. Appreciate the help.

include it all to get the most complete picture.

yeah, If your going to do a PRO/CHO or PRO/FAT meal than yes you will have small amounts of one or the other, it should be mostly either or,

and YES you have to include all the calories from flax, why wouldnt you its fat?

Some exceptions I make are......

1. I only count grams of Pro from my meat/milk/powders not things like grains rice or veggies.

2. I try to overestimate my amounts of fat that way if anything im a bit under my max

3. I dont subtract the amount of fiber from the carb count, I count full carbs
