Thanks for posting. Do you eat this much all days of the week?
Hey Coach Robert,
Just wanted to ask your opinion on my current macros.
I'm 37 years old, 71 inches tall and 252 lbs. I've been following the starting strength rogram since February and started with SSOC last month. I'd like to loose some fat as I'm about 26% body fat but don't want to hurt my LP.
Current lifts are:
Squat: 135-235
Beach: 135-175
Press: 75-110
DL: 185-275
My current macros are:
2500 calories
Carbs: 45% about 280g
Protein: 35% about 220g
Fat: 20% about 56g
Thanks for all you do.
Brandon
Thanks for posting. Do you eat this much all days of the week?
Yes, for the most part, fat may move up by 5% but my calories stay at 2500.
For the most part he’s, protein and fat fluctuate by 5-10% but I’ve been maintaining 2500 calories daily.
Are you missing lifts?
Up until yesterday I had not missed any lifts. Missed my squats and press yesterday.
I'd try to get more carbs and be more strict with the fat. 300-320 g carbohydrate may get you feeling a little bit better. Make sure you are doing this 7 days per week otherwise you will not see the benefit. Part-time diets don't work.
I really appreciate the input coach. I’ll get things in order.
Coach: let's hypothesize for a moment. Let's say someone falls off the wagon and has a binge day and just blows through their macros, specifically carbs. Should they maintain their macros the next day (a scheduled workout day) or would it be advisable to reduce their normal carb intake the following day in an effort to balance things out?
