How/why do you have your macros set & what nutrients do you

bump

I'm set at 30 carb, 30 fat, 40 protein. I'm still tweeking it off and on to try to get it right... considering putting my carbs and protein at 35 each.

that being said I am doing weight training at the gym 3-4 times a week and the 30day shred on days I don't go to the gym (and maybe soon the days i do go as well!) to compensate for my high protein. I kind of want to go to higher carbs but I know my weightloss will suffer for it.

I eat 100 carbs, 60 fats, 125 proteins per day. This has been probably a month now, and its working well! Somehow, I'd been gaining muscle/losing fat at the same time on this cut! These figures were chosen by a good friend on mfp and the percentages aren't clean cut like most peoples. This is based on lean mass protein and fat suggestions, with carbs selected to fill the remainder of my cut calories really.

If there are more details as to my macros specifically, I do not know them yet!!! Its working great for me

I aim for 93 g of protein every day :1,5g per kilo of target weight, and whatever fat and cabs.
I have mfp set up fro 45 % carbs, 35% protein and 30 % fat but depending on how much I worked out I might be over or under my protein levels.
I was changing a lot the micros that I'm tracking - I would pick 2 different for every weeek, now I want the diary to show iron and calcuim, as those seem to be the one that I have hard time with.

That beeing said, I am not going crazy if I see that I have like 50% calcium left... I know that the yogurt I have have some, but the provider just want give the info how much. So i see the number on mfp and then rise it in my head to what it is probably.
MFP helps you with tracking but it has a lot of floss. like not beeing able to set up your protein to grams rather then %, and not all food contains micro info

Thanks so much for your replies!

Like I said, I currently have the MFP standard settings 55-30-15. I'm now thinking about cutting back carbs a little and upping my protein... although I'm finding that with fruit, yoghurt, crackers and a wholemeal brekky that I'm currently hitting around 60% + - carbs so it could be interesting!

I also check out my iron, calcium and potassium but I'm the same in knowing that not all foods have those listed on the nutritional info.

Another idea is to get a 1/3 of each macro... This works out to be 34% protein and 33% carbs and fats.

1g per lb of lbm minimum protein
.35g port lb of bw minimum fat

Fill the rest of cal goals up with whatever I want

Also a good way to split up your macros

I went for 40% Carb, 40% Protein and 20% Fat..

Those are the goals I've set anyway its just difficult to reach it sometimes without going over one of the others
