0.8 - 1g per pound of bodyweight.0

my protein is 0.8 grams per lb of body weight, 0.35 grams of fat for each lb of body weight and the rest carbs..typically works out to appx 120-125 grams of protein, 60 grams of fat and 170 carbs.0

I have mine assigned by a coach. I have been seeing him for 11 weeks. Have lost 27 pounds, 40 inches. I started at 215 and my macros were 190 carb 70 fat and 145 protein. They are currently 175 carb 64 fat and 145 protein. These have been the same for the past 8 weeks.1

Fat 35%, carbs 35%, protein 30%
It works out to Fat 70g, carbs 150g, protein 140g0 -

In protein. The other macros depend on your preference, just make sure you get enough of both carbs and fat.

Macros mean nothing if you don't eat enough protein. Protein is calculated first. Whatever is left is carbs and fat.
The end.2 -

My bad.
Not trying to be bitchy. I apologize. I have a strained muscle in my neck and I didn't get to pull my heavy deads this morning. Not getting my deads on makes me cranky.

Like I said no offence...but for clarity I did note in my post 0.8 grams of protein for bw.0 -
I use .8-1 gram of protein per pound and .4-.6 gram of fat per pound. The remaining is carbs.1

I feel like you're just being nitpicky here. If you were going to bust someone's balls, why not @TavistockToad for leaving it off of his post instead of someone who simply agreed with him? In which case I guess I could understand since OP said she's a noob.
OP, you might consider giving this article a read:

I thought it was .8-1.0g per lb of LEAN body weight or .6-.8g per lb of TOTAL body weight. Another place I saw per kg of bodyweight, which changes everything by more than half. No wonder people are confused.1

I opted for a minimum of 0.8g*[weight in lb at BMI of 25] --> 96 g for me

This. Sometimes I think the rest is splitting a lot of hairs that are unnecessary unless you are competitive elite or, perhaps, trying to cut weight. FWIW, I've been competing almost 10 years. Eating like crap will affect performance but if you eat a well rounded diet you should be good to go.1 -

article
[ahr-ti-kuh l]
noun
1.
a written composition in prose, usually nonfiction, on a specific topic, forming an independent part of a book or other publication, as a newspaper or magazine.
publication
[puhb-li-key-shuh n]
noun
1.
the act of publishing a book, periodical, map, piece of music, engraving, or the like.
2.
the act of bringing before the public; announcement.
3.
the state or fact of being published.
4.
something that is published, especially a periodical.
So... that being said a blog is a publication and that makes it an article as far as I'm concerned. Regarding the 150g of protein... Jordan Feigenbaum is a Medical Doctor that specializes in power lifting and nutrition and holds one of the top 20 raw totals of all time, I think he might now a little bit about what he talks about. It's not like it's some dude posting broscience on his wordpress page from his mom's basement.
