So I've just started bodybuilding and I'm really confused about macros and nutrition.

i went to IIFYM and got one calcuation but the fat seems way high:

1638 calories
protein 165g
fat 83g
carbs 62g

I struggle to get the fat.

I went to this calculator (saw it on another post) http://jenheward.com/macro-calculator/

and got these results:

1642 calories
protein 187g
fat 63g
carbs 85g

This one seems more doable because the fat is lower and the protein is higher.

I currently weigh 94kg (207lbs), 175cm tall (5'9")

my goals are fat loss and building muscle. I am training 3 times a week, and at least 10 minutes of cardio a day (that's minimum)

I am eating 6 small meals a day. I feel good, don't feel hungry or anything, but I want to make sure I am doing this correctly! I want to make sure I'm getting the proper nutrition for fat loss and building muscles.

does anyone have any advice? thanks!!

    Actually the carbs AND protein are each twice what you need. Set macros 15c/20p/65f.
