I just started the 12 week program and need little help determining the amount of cal/carbs I should eat.
age: 25
Height: 5'8
Weight: 232
BodyFat: 29%- using skulpt chisel

I'm trying to use the meal planner but with that, the bmr, macro calcs and @Scott_Herman macro calc video, I'm having a hard time finding a good spot for muscle gain/fat loss. I figured if I start with cal/cab amount filling in protein and fat will be easy. Thanks!

I'm not sure you're following things right.

It's important to track your calories and macros (P/C/F). However, when you're calculating them you want to first get your BMR (at rest and in motion)
For workout days use the in motion one, for off days use the at rest one, or just take an average and go from there.

Then take those calories and decide how much protein you want (1 g/ lb of body weight would be my general recommendation. I eat a lot more but just because my diet is very meat-heavy).
then decide how much fat you want (since my diet is pretty meat-heavy, I go with a lot of fats too, ~110-130 g/day).
LASTLY, you get the leftover calories as carbs to fuel your workout.

You don't get to pick how many carbs you want to have unless you're doing finer-adjustments to your macros. Don't cut them out 100%, just be consistent.

As long as you use more calories than you're eating you will lose weight. It is LITERALLY that simple. (as far as body mass, not accounting for water weight which can be due to salts, etc. However, these factors change a lot on the daily and one can only expect some random noise on your measurements due to them. This is why it is important to weigh yourself in similar conditions every time)

Ok I will try that but macro calc on 1g of protein is 360-434 depending on fat and thats pretty close to average not in motion. Is that normal for workout days? In Scotts macro vid he says 50-100g of carbs for weight loss, is that for rest days?

Hey @Scazoom. What were the numbers you got from the @mealplan page for your macros? Post them here and then we can help you adjust them as needed :-)

But I can tell you this - for protein you would be better to go 1-1.5g per pound of LEAN body weight. Fat should be about 0.3-0.5g per pound of bodyweight, and towards the higher end if you really want to get carbs lower.

But in the meantime.. post your numbers here and we'll get you on track :-)

Thanks @scott_herman! I'm at Total Calories: 2441   Carb=251g Prot=181g Fat=84g. I'm don't mind what I need to change, just a little skeptical on the carb amount but whatever you suggest I will be happy to try and go from there.

@scott_herman Lost my platinum again but the promo codes keep working. I'm going on my 2nd month of not paying for platinum, i'm not complaining but feel you deserve it. Hope everything gets fixed!
