Thread: macro help please

stat: 5' 10", 170lbs, approx 12% bf

this is what i'm following:

18 * 170 = 3060 calories
P/F/C = 40/40/20

1224 cals from protein
1224 cals from carbs
612 cals from fat

306 grams protein
306 grams carbs
68 grams fat

and this is what i'm eating, minus 3 cups of random veggies throughout the day and gallon+ water a day. also, the meals change a little through the week but the p/c/f amounts are pretty much the same:

meal 1 protein/carbs/fats/calories
2 scoops whey 40/8/4/240
1/2 cup oats 5/27/3/150
1 tbl spoon whipping cream 0/1/5/45

actual total:
1220 cals from protein
1240 cals from carbs
630 cals from fat

305 grams protein
310 grams carbs
70 fat

total calories: 2946

btw, i haven't been using supplements or efa's as i'd like to keep things pretty basic and i'm not competing for anything. i'd just like to be about 180lbs or so at 12-14% bf. am i planning this out right? i've only organized one diet plan and want to make sure i'm not taking in too much or too little in any area of the p/f/c.

With the fish oil, consider it just like any other food. Add the calories and fat grams to your daily totals and figure it as a part of your diet.

Get capsules to avoid the funky taste. Buy online or check somewhere like sams costco etc.
