What's your macro split???

30 Carbs. That and calories is the only thing I pay attention to.

I used to do 40c/30p/30f but changed it to be closer to 35c/35p/30f.

Trying to get minimum of 130g protein. My aim for fat is around 40-55g, but I'm not too strict on that (but should be :laugh: )

50g fat/95g protein. Whatever is left is carbs. I also have fiber set at 35g.

I calculated fat and protein based on the formula below (lifted from the Eat, Train, Progress moderators). Fiber I set through trial and error on what works for me.

I prefer setting by grams rather than %, and ignore the changes that MFP makes if I do more activity than planned.

protein 1g per lb lean body mass (I use a body fat estimate based on military body fat calculator - not particularly accurate, but it's good enough)
fat 0.35g per lb body mass

I really wish MFP would let us set our goals per gram instead of percentages.

35% C/ 35%P/30%F based more because a while ago (my best trainer ever) had suggested each meal be as balanced as possible 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 of Carbs fats and proteins in order to feel the most sated each meal.

I'm also a pre - pre- diabetic, so I'm on the lower carb side, but couldn't cut it out completely. My current trainer said almost the same thing about the diet split, so that's what I went with. It was the start of my losing weight.

The MFP split with my body just wouldn't let me lose any weight.

There's a little macro you can install on your PC to let you do just that. I can't remember what it is, but go to the Eat, Train, Progress group and check it out. It usually works OK, and let's face it, you don't need to mess with macros very often.

I saw that and tried it but I ended up just forgetting about it because sometimes I make changes on my phone and I can't use that macro on it and then I'd just forget to redo it when I'd get to a computer. I just try to remember my numbers. :laugh:

80 fat, 15-20 protein and 5 carbs

I aim to eat 80% carbs, 10% fats & 10% protein. Mostly raw, minimal processed foods.

.85g x bw P
.45g x bw F
remainder C

I tend to subscribe to "diets" that are super sustainable, so I was attracted to the most sustainable percentages for me. i tried this: 40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat

I had a trainer who recommended I try 40% protein with 30% carbs, 30% fat and it lasted about 2 days before i realized how unsustainable it was for me. way, way too much protein for me.

40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat is a comfortable happy place to me where my body feels good and my brain feels good and I can continue to work out at the relatively high level that I work out. may be different for you or whoever

EDIT TO ADD: Anyone who tells you to eat less than 30% of any certain macro-nutrient is relatively wrong-ish. If you really want to avoid one, do LOTS of research before doing so. Most people find that completely avoiding a macro is bad for them and doesn't feel good at all. You won't be able to keep it up and it will sabotage your work. If you have health issues or are crazy pants about avoiding a macro, then do whatever, but you'll find a lot of resistance on the boards here as we all tend toward the middle ground

45C/25P/30F

25% protein for me equals out to roughly 0.8g for every lb of lean muscle mass. After doing a bunch of reading of scientific articles on absorption and usage rates and blah blah blah I found that it didn't need to be any higher for my fat loss/fitness goals. I do try to treat it as a minimum however, so on days where I'm good, I'm a few grams above the 100 I'm aiming for.

Today I got my new meal plan from the trainer and he is suggesting 40P/25C/30F, something about this makes me nervous bc at 165lbs, 13% body fat, I feel thats far too much protein for me to be taking in. I feel it will be stored as fat and I'm concerned. Should I be eating this much protein? Its 190g, with only 106g Carbs.. I feel like I will put on weight, based off lack of carbs alone.
