Getting ready to start Starting Strength - how do my macros look?

[seneca]

Hey all. First post here. Excited to be here and looking forward to sharing my progress.

I've been working through Emma-Leigh's post .....(not giving this junk traffic) and have come up with what I think is a pretty good template for my gaining goal.

I've checked and rechecked my math based on my training goals. I'm interested in if you see the major discrepencies between targets and what I have planned with my "basic menu" template as being okay. For instance, is there any problem with getting 110 g above and beyond my protein target? Or 183 g above and beyond fats?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

BASIC MENU

Sounds like a good way to get fat.

No age, height, weight, lifts, or goals...?

Anyway, I'd cut at least 0.0000006 grams of fat off your plan. Hell of a kitchen scale you must have!

I know jack shit about nutrition but why do do you have a "target" and "basic menu"? I understand the concept of your actual intake not aligning perfectly with your target, but it sounds as if you are planning on them being completely fucked up.

I don't understand. I see that the article I linked to is not approved, and that it's referred to as "silly" in the notes. What is it about that article that's silly? I'm a relative beginnner, do you have any other suggestions for coming up with some good macros/cal balances?

This is a better article.

Thanks Jordan. Looking forward to reading this in detail. Cheers!
