do you even bulk bro???0 -

Carbs are not important because we are not carbohydrates and we do not sintetise anything but tryglicerides from them. Our bodies only use sugar if we adapt it to do so, and it has well known negative effects. The organs in our bodies prefer or only use fat, that is why we convert the carbs into fat, because we don't need many.
Glucose is toxic, that is why our bodies regulate it very strictly, remember that a diabetic will die thanks to glucose.
LOL
we are not carbohydrates, really? Last time i checked we are not protein and fats either..unless, of course, you are talking about a different "we"…

Can you explain why it does not make sense? Just curiosity, I know your reason.
He says 50/30/20 carbs/protein and fat and I say, use those to bulk, because he wants to bulk, bulking means gaining weight, some muscle a bit more fat, then you cut fat, is the traditional style, right? He is not asking for lean muscle.
I eat like 60-70% fat dude, and I am underweighted lol.
Oh no, I'm late!
Okay, grammatically it's all over the place so it's hard to read. You told him those macros would make him fat, that's just idiotic. You do not know his stats (height, weight, bf%) so you cannot possibly say his macros are wrong for him or offer an alternative.
He is not asking for lean muscle because he is not an idiot, and understands that lean muscle is a marketing term. There is no lean muscle - there is muscle, skeletal muscle, which he wants more of so has decided to bulk. Your foolish rantings will not affect him but may affect others who read your post and buy into this type of nonsense.
If you do not understand nutrition and how to successfully gain weight and/or muscle, you should refrain from posting drivel till you do. Then when you do, you should reread your posts before posting them so that they are, at least, legible.
Bolded: and yet you are offering advice in the gaining section

Haha I agree with this. (Bolded)
If all of the above is true, please explain why you are underweight?

"In the short run, like on refeed days, for example, carbohydrate overfeeding has another advantage over fat overfeeding, because it takes roughly 500g of carbohydrates (that's 2,000kcal) before even a single gram of those carbs is converted to fat and potentially, but not necessarily stored as body fat (Acheson. 1988) - at "only" 400kcal extra from carbs for one day there was no net lipogenesis at all (see Figure 5). This result is corroborated by data from McDevitt et al. (2000) who observed that the fat gain with fat overfeeding starts with day 1, while there is a time gap in the increase in body fat with carbohydrate overfeeding (McDevitt. 2000)."

Do you even exercise? This is crazy talk the paleo people push and convert gullible people who don't know better.

Thanks for this. I just wish MFP would adjust cause all we have here is percentages in 5% increments. I always have to go outside MFP to calculate and then come as close as I can with the MFP goals page so that my macros are staring at me from the Food Diary. Ugh.Ratios don't work out. Always grams > ratios.
.6-.87g per lb of bodyweight in protein. The 1g-1.5g recommendation above is just excessive. Especially on a bulk.
.4g per lb of bodyweight in fat
Fill the remaining calories with carbs.

There is a code that let's you convert it over to grams instead of percentages:Caged_Heat wrote: »

Awesome! Thanks!0 -
To the guy that started this topic:
WTF? Am I missing something out or am I eating way too much? Mine is:
Carbs/Protein/Fat 374/150/1000 -
The OP was speaking in terms of a percentage ratio, not grams. In other words, he's saying 50% of his total calories as carbs, 30% as protein, and 20% as fat.0

Yikes. Mine is 25/45/30. I have to eat a lot though.0
