Macros look fine, but I would drop the HIIT for now until you get past the novice phase.
Hi Jordan, I just want to start out by thanking you for all the time you've already invested into these forums. I've read a lot and I think I've nailed down a fairly competent plan.
I would really appreciate it if you could quickly look over my numbers and let me know if I need to change anything to optimize my LP.

Last year I dropped from 246 to 195 pounds from February to August. I was also doing crossfit for the year. I'm not 100% on this but I believe my lean body mass went up 10 pounds last year due to staying committed to crossfit. I've never stuck to an actual strength training program for more than two weeks though. From September to now I've put on 15 pounds due to eating more and less exercise. I've still done crossfit twice a week and my conditioning is fairly good.
My new nutrition plan going through this LP comes from what I understood in your article, "To Be A Beast".
Cals & Macros
2784
244P, 77F, 278C
HIIT 2x per week for 30 min session
I believe this will maintain my current weight, while allowing for some LBM gain and fat loss. Please let me know if you think there is anything glaringly wrong here.
Thanks!

Glad I'm not considered fat enough to keep the HIIT in. Thanks for the response.
