Really interested in what people have their macros (carbs, protein, fat) set at and how they came to those numbers.

For anyone who has set their own numbers (not the MFP ones which are really low in protein) how did you decide on your split?

    40 C / 40 P / 20 F

    Mix between Mayo Clinic's guidelines and P90X Lean's fat burning guide.

    I love it!

    click on the goals tab on the home page, then change goals down the bottom. You can alter the macros there.

    Thanks Emma!!

    Wow, I didn't realise they measured protein so low and carbs so high. I'm going to set mine to 40c 30p & 30f

    I don't feel so bad about going over in protein and under in carbs now...

    40C/30P/30F. I realized that this split is what I can comfortably do without reducing myself to cravings. I get everything!

    40/30/30 but I just started this split so I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet. Hope to see some more replies, good topic.

    50/25/25

    A low day for me is about 1800 calories, and that gives me a protein goal close to my lean mass. I run about 3x a week, so carbs are good friends of mine.

    50/25/25. I tried 40/30/30 for a while but was ALWAYS over in carbs...so 50% carbs works a lot better for me.

    Might want to recheck yours if that's the case. ;)

    As for me, I'm on 40/35/25 at the moment, but I can't rest on a set amount for too long it seems, as I'm constantly trying to adjust it to a better split for lean muscle. I just can't decide :(
