I appreciate your feedback however as i said above i already train daily so i have already concentrated on that. When body builders are cutting they do the exact same thing so i dont understand how you can say its a very unhealthy relationship with food. I am in no way putting my health at risk, if i started to feel as if…

Thank you ill check it out

Yeah i completely understand what your saying but like i said above i personally think its about trial and error for each individual, i was just looking for a rough starting point. I would up my calories but i think 1200 is fine as i dont find myself getting hungry or feel as if i need to eat more, if i did there is no way…

Thank you, i think im going to try the low carb macros i came up with out and see how it goes and adjust them accordingly, i suppose its just trial and error really :)

Would you not say 1200 calories per day is a carlorie defecit? I go to the gym once a day and lift heavy and also run 3.5km on the treadmil and spend around 5-7mins on the bike as a cool down. I thought taking this into account and the fact that i work 5 days of the week this would be a calorie defecit? Im not argueing…

Can i just add that i dont think im fat and im not unhappy with my body at all. Because when i seem to seek help on here and tell people my age and weight they tell me theres no need for me to diet and im at normal weight. The reason im on here is because i want to loose body fat and tone up! I want to make myself more…

Firstly i dont think my age has anything to do with it, i dont know why people comment on things like this putting down your decisions. I want to try a low carb diet because i want to drop my body fat and get lean.

I weigh 8.7st not too sure what that is in pounds

Yeah to be honest it is something id want to stick with, but i dont want to go straight into less than 50gs so thought id ease myself in at around 70g first, what do you think of my macros above?

Does this sound ok (i have the plug in so i can change my goals in 1% increments) Carbs - 69g - 23% - 276 cal Protein - 99g - 33% - 396 cal Fat - 59g - 44% - 528 cal Thank you for your help btw!

So what would you recommend my macros to be? If i were to put my carbs at 70g? Having trouble working it all out

Eggs! Omlettes are great or boiled egg and asparagus soliders, crack an egg in the centre of an advacado and bake it, theres loads of things to do with them. Also try changing your proteins, turkey breast, tuna, salmon, a new thing ive found which i love is osterich steak, takes 2mins to cook each side and one steak has…

Osterich steaks! They're fairly cheap and One (the ones i buy) contains 26g of protein and just 1.6g of fat, and, in my opinion they are nicer than beef steak

Overnight oats are a great idea, just mix oats with milk/almond milk/water/yoghurt and then add anything else you'd like eg peanut butter cinnamon honey and leave in the fridge overnight, they're ready in the morning to eat hot or cold and you can add fruit if you'd like

Eggs, protein powder, oats and almond milk, mix together until the batter looks like a normal batter mixture (its really easy to judge). Also for another quick and easy low calorie 'pancake' recipe just mash banana with egg and fry it up like a pancake

Eggs are great for a low carb diet so stock up! Omlettes with veg, baked eggs in advacados, scrambled with bacon, boiled with asparagus soliders instead of bread! I love fruit so i swap higher carb fruits like apples and mangos for berries with greek yoghurt as its high in protein. Mix up your proteins to keep things from…

Im starting on a low carb diet myself for the first time since counting macros, my breakfasts normally include eggs as they're quick easy and taste great (omlettes with veg, scrambled egg with bacon, advaco baked with egg inside etc). I also love fruit so try to swap things like apples and mangos for berries as they're…

Hi thanks for the replies, as i said tavistocktoad i do only want to loose body fat %... i feel like i should give you some more info on myself as i already have quite good muscle and can (and do) lift heavy, so i just really want to lower my body fat percentage which is why i thought 1200 calories would be ok? I dont seem…
