Can anyone please help me with my macro figures?
Right now I think my carbs are a little high and my protein is low. I almost always go over my current recommended protein limit.
I do CrossFit 3 times a week.
I'm set to maintain right now at 5'9" 140 pounds. I eat about 1800 calories (I breastfeed).
My fitness goal is to tone up and put a bit of muscle on and work on cardio.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thank You!!!

Doesn't Crossfit have a recommendation on its site or materials?
40% Carbs/ 30% Protein/ 30% Fats seems to be the general "alternative" recommendation for those doing a strength program.
So 40/30/300 -
25-35% protein is enough for most. 25 fat (esp if breast feeding) rest carbs or trade more fat for less carbs.
150g of protein or 600 cals is about 33% of your current intake.0 -
I was going to do the 40/30/30 but wanted to make sure it was "right."
