I think it's weird some macros in the Meal Planner vary that much

Proteins, carbohydrates, fat, etc, I think it varies too much and it worries me that it may hinder my progress

Hello guys, hello Scott. How are you all?

What worries me is that in the Meal Planner, the macros vary too much. For example, in my case, for weight loss I can eat 45 to 158g of protein, wich is more than 100g of difference! and no matter the number in between, I still get an A.

Fat, I could eat from 40 to 70, wich is kind of a huge margin.

Carbohydrates, from 203g to 293g.

So I wonder, are these numbers correct? Im not really asking for my case in specific, more than anything wanting to know if it's okay that the macros have margins so huge.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, I have 138 pounds of lean body mass. Acording to this article: https://muscularstrength.com/article/building-your-meal-plan-calculate-protein-carbohydrates-fat , I would need to eat 138g of protein, but the Mealplanner just leaves me be at 40g. So it worries me that this may hinder my progress.

If you want to see my meal planner (it's under construction, Im checking what I could eat for dinner lol).

Btw Scott, If you want a idea for a tasty breakfast, oatmeal, yogurt, nuts and banana is a good one!


And what I mean



Wish you all a nice day

@Wess77 Hey Daniel!


At the moment I see it says you're hitting 168g, which is good. But yeah if it is still saying you have an A grade when hitting 54g of protein that's not ideal!


At least you know what numbers you should be hitting regardless though. Thanks for the breakfast suggestion! I actually have that kind of mixture occasionally!


I might try to have a look into this, thanks for letting me know!
