COUNTING MACROS & Such #broscience
Game Plan: Using an iphone app to track all my calories / protein / carbohydrates / fats to see where I fall – trying to follow a strict (90% paleo) 40/40/20 split. The only non-paleo part of my diet right now includes plain organic gluten free oatmeal in the morning & a splash of cream in my coffee.
MAIN GOAL, EAT MORE.
Daily Food Breakdown:
40/40/20 SPLIT
123lbs x 12 (Low Intensity / Cutting) = 1,476 Calories Per Day (Rounded Up To 1,500)
1,500 Calories Per Day, 40% Protein – 40% Carbohydrates – 20% Fat
Protein: 1 Gram = 4 Calories
Carbohydrates: 1 Gram = 4 Calories
Fat: 1 Gram = 9 Calories
1,500 Total Calories / 4 Protein Calories = 375 x 40% = 150 Grams Of Protein Daily
1,500 Total Calories / 4 Carbohydrate Calories = 375 x 40% = 150 Grams Of Carbohydrates Daily
1,500 Total Calories / 9 Fat Calories = 166 x 20% = 33 Grams Of Fat Daily
