I strive to get a macro ratio of 45% carbs 35% protein and 20% fat give or take. I can never seem to get my carbs high enough, which is a concern considering the number of times I've heard it suggested that I need to up my carbs on a bulk.

Why does higher calorie intake lead to muscle gain?
Hi all, I think I'm relatively clued up on nutritional matters but this is something I just don't get. Muscles are made by the breaking down of myofibrils and their rebuilding. They are entirely made of protein (amino acids, whatever) and so adequate protein intake is essential to allow muscles to grow. Energy comes from…

Layout of meals
I wish MFP would give us the option of : Meal 1 Meal 2 Meal 3 Meal 4 Meal 5 Meal 6 Instead of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks. I would use it a lot more if I had this option. Net Carbs would be great as well. :smile:

Small people can be strong and healthy too!
This is mainly a rant. I've seen quite a bit of skinny shaming on these boards. Everything from snarky comments to automatically assuming a lower BMI is unhealthy, weak and can't possibly have any muscle definition. People also seem convinced smaller people must have some type of ED or aren't being honest about how little…

When to change targets?
When I began my mfp journey, it was to lose weight. I was 105kg, and wanted to get down to about 90, but it kind of spiralled a bit, and I'm currently at 73kg, which actually puts me quite close to the underweight bracket of most bmi calculators. So I figured that now is a good time to start building back up to 90 but with…
