What ratio does and measurements does everyone use while cutting.

I am a 5ft 10 guy weighing around 77kg. Trying to drop body fat. Eating around 1750kcal

Currently I am aiming for:

200g Protein
150g Carb
35g Fat

Also drinking around 4/5 litres a day

Any suggestiona for me?

    Personally I hate set amounts as it's far too restrictive so prefer:

    1g protein per lb of LBM, as a minimum.
    0.4g fat per lb of bodyweight, as a minimum.
    Carbs fall wherever they happen fall to hit my calorie goal.


    Your fat intake is low, would definitely increase that.

    1750cals also seems very low to me by the way. Are you adding exercise calories to that?
