Calories in/out is correct, but macros do not determine whether one has muscle or fat.
However, in order for one to maintain or build muscle while weight lifting, it's important to get enough protein.
Damm right I agree 100% with you maybe the word (determine) isn't the best... Here is an example ...If someone is on a severely calorie restricted diet with macros of 0/50/50 , then that person will lose a LOT of muscle. Now if change example 40/40/20 (40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat)that person will reduce muscular loss. And let's be honest the goals of losing weight is to get rid of fat as well improving overall health.

1.Only calories in and calories out determine weight change, nothing else.
2.Macro ratios (P/C/F) determine if the weight change is due to fat or muscle.
So you do mean to still give wrong information on your second attempt LOL. You are still wrong OP.
Appropriate calorie deficit is for weight loss.
Macros are for performance, hormones, growth and organ/tissue repair and function.
Micros are for health.
Lifting (not balls to the wall) is for lean mass retention.
Cardio is for heart and lung health.
Is that a guarantee regardless of workout regimen?
Bro, DYE5 0/50/50 Diet?
We need @tincanonastring to come up with the Peeps version of this.
Oh, that's easy! I cover macro splits in my upcoming book The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): Maintaining Proper Body Composition Through Peep Color Management - The 50/50/50 Cleanse - Taste 150% Of The Rainbow.
I went into the bookstore the other day to look for this book, and......
It's on the bestseller list already!0 -
Carbs are not immediately stored as fat. Carbs are first broken down into glucose, whatever glucose isn't needed by the cells is stored as glycogen. If your glycogen stores are full the body converts the sugars and stores them as triglycerides (fat). This balance of glucose, glycogen and fat is the reason that we say it is irrelevant whether we are burning fat at any given moment. Our body will keep an appropriate balance of glycogen and refill it from incoming carbs or stored triglycerides.
Hey! I thought I demonstrated that!
And a lot more simply, too. 
. Glucose is a carb, too.
Would it help if I added a glycogen storage unit to the diagram, and a decision point (glycogen stores full)?
Your diagram was far too simplified. The needed now part. Even if it isn't needed at that moment, it doesn't mean that glycogen stores are full (which technically is a storage, not used). The body also doesn't automatically use protein for energy if it is in deficit, it's only used when your body needs free amino acids and you haven't provided sufficient access through diet.
This is closer to how it works (it does miss the storage of excess glycogen as triglycerides, but that would be an offshoot of the glycogen storage in liver and muscles):
This is beautiful. You are beautiful. The world is beautiful.0 -

Thank you, @missannette67, for finding the cover of my new book! I had originally painted a portrait for it, but I got mad and threw it out of a very high window.

There seems to be an unauthorized biography I found on Peepterest.
The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): The Peepeaters Guide to the Galaxy & So Long and Thanks for All The Peeps double volume. It has Peep Panic written real big across the cover of the book, I think it's going overtake the Encyclopeepia as the number one source for Peep Cleanse knowledge.0 -

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but do it! It makes you feel totally bada$$. Isn't that motivating enough?

yes!
Yay!! Okay, it shall be done. And really, it will make lugging 10 litre sample bags of midden at work a hell of a lot easier! (interesting fact - a 10l sample of dense shell midden is considerably lighter than a 10l sample with a higher soil to shell ratio).
God I could so see that happening!0 -
Sigh....I keep waiting for your people. When are they coming? Are you stringing us along?0
