Macros for bulking?
I've read that macros have to be like so: Protein: 1g per lb of body weight Fat: 0.3-0.4g per lb of body weight And put the rest on carbs. Could anyone clarify if this info is good? I really have no idea :/ for my macros it would be 140g protein, 56g fat and about 355g of carbs a day.
