Wow. I can't believe I didn't know that this whole time. That would be why the numbers are conflated. Thank you for pointing that out. Time to go back over the numbers again. I think now I'll have to probably buy some skin calipers as well.

I can't eat cod actually. I can only eat basa, but I think I'm starting to see the numbers differently now. Before I was looking at measuring protein and the weight of the meat rather than protein and calories.

Oh, so it's to measure protein against only my lean body mass?

You might be right. The one thing I do see is chicken breasts at 31g of protein per 165 calories. So if I take 31g of chicken breast X 8 = 248 grams of protein Which is 165 calories X 8 = 1320 calories Which means I have around 1000 more calories to play with. But, I only see chicken breasts this high. Fish and other…

How did you get 980 cal for 245 g of protein? I see for ground beef it is 250 calories for 100 grams, but only 26 grams of protein in the 100 grams. My source is below: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=beef+calories So if I go 250 calories X 9 = 2250 calories ( my deficit is 2400 calories) then 26 grams…

Right, yeah. The 0.8-1 g per lb sounds like what I've heard from bodybuilders who recommended 1 g per lb. I am trying to lose fat and keep muscle. I've worked out the macros and I can never hit 245 grams of protein without going over my caloric deficit limit. Sure I could reach 245 grams of protein eating pure beef all…
