My fault! I ment ratio. Whoops. Im going out tonight and deciding what to eat. Stil avoiding fast foods all I can. I know you dont have to. As long as the macros fit. But its easier to keep a lid on it for me with an occasional treat. Im gonna have to reasses my diet now. The 1200 to 1300 cals needs upping but ill have to…

Thanks for this. And your message. Didnt read it until today. What about the bars on top of powder as a snack then? Like for work etc. So far today im actually on for macros. But probably not going to hit the calories as havent been to the store yet. Not looked into bigger calorie foods. Thats why im thinking supplements.…

Many thanks for all the great tips. Going to order some supplements this weekend. Is powder definitely better then bars? Ive read bars have extra content. But is that content ok if inline with the macros? Or does it contain nasties? I only ask as im gonna try some powders but have a pretty naff gag reflex if the texture is…

Thanks. Im considering stopping losing. Well, cutting where I am and just re assess when I can actually see some muscle. Looking at my build I imagine I may actualy want to get slightly bigger. But as im a total novice ill give it 1 step at a time. The new calculations show me 1860. When I put in the minimum weight loss.…

I see. Thanks again.

Thanks. I guess it might help. Ill up my food a little then consider a supplement once im lifting to make up the calories. I may shoot to not lose weight In the app. Just change my ratio to something appropriate. Or am I still supposed to be putting a reduction In to lose the fat? J

Thanks for this. Am I correct in thinking now that the app means 1700 including the 500 reduction? Think I rushed into it a bit too excited! Edit: Pics updated Edit: Apparently 29% Body Fat? J

Thanks for the tips. I assure you thats what the app says. It started at 1700 caloroes estimated for my day to day. I was advised to hit upto 500 cal lower than this to drop weight. Well I read in various places. I hit my target in a week. But looking in the mirror the target clearly wasnt enough. So I updated the target…

I have no idea what my LBM is. Ill have a google and look. 1g protein per pound? What about fats and carbs? Is this info always the same? I ask because I dont want to bother you with too much info I could easily find on google. But I wasnt sure if the ratios altered depending on circumstance. 3 times a week was only…

Thanks for your reply. Better get some weights in this weekend. Do I need to up my calories from 1200 then? Or change my ratio to have more protein? Im at around 50.25.25 at moment. Should I buy a calorie counter to get an accurate requirement?
