Thanks for feedback, was a blast to make0

Not bad, a few things bugged me about it.
3500 calories is only equal to a pound in terms of fat, not just in general.
It's better to have people work deficits and surpluses in percentages rather than just saying 500 calories
A 20% fat macro definitely seems low, dietary fat is very important, in fact breaking down macros by percentages at all is flawed
Good video though, it was entertaining.0 -

I think that I understood more of what the video said than what you just said. I liked the video. For us that do not understand the "macro" terminology and what that means, I do understand "lift weights and eat enough fiber".0 -

3500 calories is not a measurement of fat or muscle. It's a measurement of excess or deficit of calories. The lb gained or loss means the COMBINATION of fat and muscle. Not quite sure where you are basing your info.
In terms of fat, 20% is a guideline, 25% is usually considered a max. Not to mention that it is a percentage. 20% is still a solid amount that will keep you healthy, and allow room for carbs - which give energy and fuel workouts, and protein which are for repairing and maintaining muslce mass.
20/40/40 has always been the basic guideline. As I say in the video, it's for beginners and if they can stick to it, they can start learning more in depth concepts.
As miss Lemetriab said - It is a lot easier for beginners to understand to "eat an excess or deficit of 500, and lift weights".
Thanks for your input though.0 -

The 3500 number is actually intended as an estimation for the caloric value of fat only.

I understand muscle weighs more than fat.
This is basic information.
However, the 3500 cals is still a solid starting point to prevent muscle loss during weight loss and fat gain during weight gain.
Genetics/training/diet are going to determine how the weight is put on or takin off.0 -
