    counting macronutrients

    guys, in another thread, it's been recommended to me to count macronutrients rather than calories as the calories will fall into place. good advice i think.

    i've been looking at the net and researching the subject but there's a lot of conflicting info about how many grams of each macronutrient i should be consuming daily to lose fat.

    so, i'm putting it out to you guys to see what your advice is?

    i'm 5' 6", currently weigh 161lbs (73.4kg's) 41 years old

    Use fitday.com to track your intake and just go about 500 below maintenance to cut. There are a lot of ways to loose weight but slow and steady is the best.

    Sound advice above, but since you're in the UK Online Food Diary with Exercise Log and iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry Calorie Counter | MyNetDiary will be easier to use than fitday.

    I used fitday for years with great success and the only thing wrong with it is the lack of british food brands. Hardly a fair criticism of an american site, though.

    Well first off I feel that protein should stay pretty consistent. Keep that around 300g or so for your size. Fats should be good at 75g a day or so then minimal carbs. Id say 150g max. That's about 2475 calories. Depending on your body type you could modify it a bit. That's not set in stone, just a general idea.

    Remember
    1g Protein - 4 calories
    1g Carb - 4 calories
    1g Fat - 9 calories
