I have typed in what my goals is which is to lose 1lb body fat per week, whilst doing this I wish to gain muscle. Some people say you can't do both at the same time but I'm sure that if your new to it that you can do both.
It says for my macros that I need to get 219g of carbs, 53g fat and 60g protein. Now to me the protein seems very low, I was told I need to getting about 1g of protein per lb of body weight and the carbs seems too high.
Any advice on this would be great, thanks.

yeah try and get 1gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, then multiply your body weight by .25 then the left over calories should come from carbs. feel free to add me if u have anymore questions0
