pro = 4cals/gram
carb = 4casl/gram
fat = 9cals/gram
so if you are doing 200g pro (40%) cals = 800
200g carb (40%) = cals 800
44gfats (20%) = cals 400
total cals = 2000
Personally i work out 1g/lb pro + 20-25%fats and the rest carbs. I find this method works for me.Last edited by BulkMeUp; 09-26-2004 at 07:52 AM.
