Macros --YES! I did a search!

I am curious about macros. I try and hit them and usually I am pretty okay about it (40/30/30). But I'm wondering if it makes a huge difference between hitting it everyday and your daily pie graph work--- or if you have more carbs one day and less the next and your weekly totals equal out.
Anyone try either way? Does it make a difference at the end of the week?

The Zone! Doesn't really matter as ratios/%'s are kinda useless, just aim for adequate minimum amounts of proteins and fats and let the rest of your cals fall where they may0 -

^^truth
guidelines to go by are like 1g protein per lb of lean body mass (or just 1g per lb on safe side so u dont fuc up the math and basically so u dont count poor sources of protein)
and fats at like 1/4 of ur body weight in grams (200lbs = 50g minimum fat a day)
then from there u can eat whatever you want within ur caloric limit preferedly should be from carbohydrate sources.
.... oh and micronutrients are important too u gotta hit those numbers so eat "healthy" micronutrient dense foods.0 -
I'm at 45/30/25, after trial and error it's what works for me. I usually go over on protein, sometimes on fats too, but for my exercise program (Insanity) it keeps me fueled so I can push myself.
I make an effort to come close to hitting my carbs & protein but I'd rather hit my calorie goal of 2100.0
