Hey Nation!
So i've calculated my macros about 4 times now and still confused. I am trying to gain muscle but also lose the extra stubborn belly fat I have left. I'm trying to get very lean. Since I want both I'm confused if I +/- 250-500 or leave it the same.
Weight: 112
Body %: 10
Lean weight: 101
Fat weight: 11
BMR "rest": 1398
BMR " in motion": 2412
When I calculated my protein I stayed with 1g per pound and for fat I went with 0.35 like Scott suggested in his video. After I was done my macros came out to:
Protein: 101g (404 Cal)
Carbs: 234g (936 Cal)
Fats: 35g (315 Cal)
Total: 1,655 Cal per day.
This is where I got confused. If i'm trying to lose the extra stomach fat, I don't think my carbs should be so high? I'm trying the diet I read in one of the articles on here where it's a 4 day rotation where you have:
DAY 1: ultra low carbs
DAY 2: low carbs
DAY 3: medium carbs
DAY 4: high carbs
I would really appreciate some advice on correctly calculating my macros if this isn't correct.
