Hey, guys I am having some trouble with my meal plan and I would really appreciate some help.
Fist of all here are my stats
Body Weight: 152 lbs
Body fat: 21%
Fat weight: 32 lbs
Lean Weight: 120 lbs
Age: 22 yo
BMR at rest: 1790 cal
BMR on motion: 2775
BMR average: 2283
MY GOAL IS TO GAIN LEAN WEIGHT
My final daily Macros calculated as Scott describes in his video are the following
protein: 180g
carbs: 318g
fat: 60g
total calories: 2533cal
BUT the macro calculation tool gives me the following
protein intake goal: 178g
fat intake goal: 65g
carbs intake goal: 432g
calorie goal: 3025cal

1) which one should I follow???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meal planner, I don't know what to enter in the fields BMR, RMR. By entering my BMR at rest in the BMR field, I get the goal of 3000cal (same as the tool's)

So the last six months I was following a daily meal plan of 3000calories/day (carbs: 417g, protein: 189g, fat: 60g), and here are the results.

I feel I have taken some belly fat, although my body weight is still around 152 lbs.
I have to say that I wasn't hitting the gym continuously, but I was strict with the diet.!
2) there must have been something wrong with the macros, right?
