    This looks pretty good. My only comments:

    Your p/f/c in grams adds up to about 2060 if my mental math is correct.
    Your fat intake could be slightly higher but it's not alarming as is.

    180/200/75 p/c/f gets you to about 2200. Anywhere in the 2200-2300 range should be pretty good and your results confirm it.
  • This sounds about right. I eat 2500 when I train, 2100 on rest days. Thank you for taking your time to respond, appreciate it.
