0.8 - 1g per pound of bodyweight.0

my protein is 0.8 grams per lb of body weight, 0.35 grams of fat for each lb of body weight and the rest carbs..typically works out to appx 120-125 grams of protein, 60 grams of fat and 170 carbs.0

I have mine assigned by a coach. I have been seeing him for 11 weeks. Have lost 27 pounds, 40 inches. I started at 215 and my macros were 190 carb 70 fat and 145 protein. They are currently 175 carb 64 fat and 145 protein. These have been the same for the past 8 weeks.1

In protein. The other macros depend on your preference, just make sure you get enough of both carbs and fat.

Macros mean nothing if you don't eat enough protein. Protein is calculated first. Whatever is left is carbs and fat.
The end.2 -

My bad.
Not trying to be bitchy. I apologize. I have a strained muscle in my neck and I didn't get to pull my heavy deads this morning. Not getting my deads on makes me cranky.

Like I said no offence...but for clarity I did note in my post 0.8 grams of protein for bw.0 -
I use .8-1 gram of protein per pound and .4-.6 gram of fat per pound. The remaining is carbs.1
