hey scott I'v taken a look at the meal plan and i'v got my macros all sorted so i'll be testing it out over the next couple of months but would you mind explaining maybe in another video a little bit about how a change in the protein, fat and carb percentages can change how our body reacts i know the role of them all but does the ratio really matter as long as i get my calories. I'm on a pt course right now and my college tutor has given me another method to work out protein intake that seems wrong. According to my tutor i should be getting 124g of protein per day. Weighing 75kg and 6ft dead attempting to build some lean muscle. where as your macro calc came out with 222g per day. Could it be another technique, is it wrong or have i worked out my macros wrong?

btw my protein from your calc is 45% protein at 222,. carbs are 40% at 200g and fat is 15% at 74g does this sound right to you?

the eatwell plate suggests 55% carb 25% fat and 20% protein i know this will change as I am looking to put muscle on but there is a lot of different opinions on macros that's really starting to confuse me. I want to start working out complex things like how my macros should change if work out twice a day or If i'm completely at rest but right now I'm a little stuck just at the basics haha!

And finally my total calories only comes to 2354 is this enough for someone who trains 7+ time a week? thanks for any help I know theres a lot of questions there! :)

Hey Markhj,

Sorry for the late reply. I just oved into a new house and just got my internet back.

So just to be clear... can you list for me the EXACT protein, carbs and fat as well as total calories that you got from my method with THIS video.

I am just a little bit confused.

List them like this.

Protein:

Carbs:

Fat:

Calories:

Weight:

Bodyfat %:

Lean weight:

Fat weight:

Average BMR:

Thanks!

Protein:22g

Carbs:200g

Fat:74g

Calories:2354

Weight:76.2kg

Bodyfat %:10

Lean weight:68.58kg

Fat weight:7.62kg

Average BMR 2104.555

thanks for the looking into this for me! that's exactly what i calculated from your instructions on the meal plan video. :)

well as long as that is 220 grams of protein and not 22 grams... it looks good to me!

How do you feel eating this way?

haha yeah i ment 220 lol! I feel good most of the time and it seems to be working toward putting muscle on but i'm also getting some unwanted fat and ocasionally feeling slugish, could that just be the source of carbs and fats? as you said on your other video i'v just been eating stuff iifym style.

Well, maybe you can drop the carbs closer to 150 grams.. See i that works... but if you are eating JUNK like I talked about in that video.... that will definitely hinder your results my friend. #HTH

After thinking through my diet changes the fat is excess from when I changed my type of training as I wasn't burning as many calories I am now training for muscle growth but I'v put questions regarding that in a different forum! thanks for the advice.

You are very welcome! I will do my best to get to the other questions today :)
