    I started SS 3 weeks ago. I am 5' 6" 205lbs, male, 33 years old. I haven't done any weight training for 10 years. My wife is a former chef, now stay at home mom. We went through the nutrition part of the the SS book and we are both confused. My wife thinks 3500 calories is way too much and I have no idea how many carbs and how much fat I should be eating. Are there any books or websites sites to explain how much I should be eating and what to eat? My wife and I are trying to meal plan and we don't know where to start.

    Thanks for posting!

    There are plenty of resources in this board and you can always reach out for a consultation. A good proxy as to whether you are eating enough is whether you are completing your lifts or not. Carbs and protein are the main drivers of performance so I’d play around with those and see how you respond.
