% carbs / protien / fat / etc per day OR just calories

KahalaGal

HI. I am wondering if you all focus on the individual categories of what we are consuming: protein, carbs,etc
or
Do you just stick to / focus on total calories for the day?

1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.

All this hostility for no reason.. no need make person plural and then proceed say we should "stfu" cause no else did anything to you. No one called you idiotic.. huge difference between calling someone a name and saying their STATEMENT is idiotic.

If you're having a bad day, stay away from the forums. You always have the option of reporting a post that you find is personally attacking you or is against the rules.

To anyone who read that original post, please eat more than 20g of carbs/proteins/fats over MFP recommendations without being afraid that it's going to make you fat. That won't happen.

I try to stay under on everything, I have my settings at 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat. I was a 40/40/20 person but my trainer told me to up my carbs because of my workouts

Wow that's almost exactly what I did haha, except I just today decided to go from 40/30/30 to 50/25/25 and will probably stick with that for a while, work on my feet about 45 hours a week.

You notice any difference with more carbs?

If you work on your feet for that long every week, 50/25/25 will probably work well for you. I used to set my macros at 30-40-30 and I found I barely had the energy to complete my workouts and it made me really cranky. I upped it 10% and that's been working for the last few months. Let us know how it works out

Right now I'm just trying to meet my calorie goal 1600 TDEE -20% . I am losing to slow. Some weeks I don't lose a pound. Hopefully, it will change or I may try lowering my carbs. I'm set at 40%carb/30%fat/30%protein

I didnt put words in anyone's mouth. I laughed at an obviously silly typo.

just came back to make sure she knows I wasnt being mean and thought I was laughing with her, since she also called herself on it.

You could try lowering your carbs but if you begin to get moody, irritable and tired you may want to stick with the 40% carbs macro. Just a heads up from someone who originally tried 30-40-30 :laugh:

You also could try increasing your caloric intake.. just add extra healthy snacks or try to fit in whatever you need to meet your macro goal.. for example, some days I want the extra cals but I still need to meet my protein goal so I may have some whey protein or greek yogurt, etc.
