My macros for today is F#&#ed up

[fitnessfreak6]

Just ate 2 TBSP of Peanut butter thinking that it would fit into my macros. But it didn't , i feel so ****ed up ... I am still under my total calorie limit but my fat intake went too high.

How bad is today? My macros are like this for the whole day: Fats 30% 48% carbs 22% protein. 77g Fats (27g saturated.. from 2% milk) , 123g Protein and 264g carbs.. calories: 2213. Surplus: 500 calories.

My protein goal was 100-125g. So, I did hit that. And my goal was to fill the remaining calories with whatever I want. my fats goal was 20-55g.

Is it likely that the 500 calorie surplus for TODAY is gonna turn into fat?

Fats are minimums, not exact amounts. As are proteins.
You could eat just fats and proteins, and as long as you hit your macros, it doesn't matter.
People obviously don't do this for many reasons, one of which being energy levels. However, if you are feeling good, and have hit your micros as well as macros, eat all the fats and proteins you want.

I'm so sick of people not properly reading the stickies.

EDIT: Your fats are far too low. Way way way too low.

Fcuking read the stickies again.

Surplus: 500 calories.

I don't understand... and 77g fat is fine. A surplus can go either into muscle or into fat, this is not determined by the absolute amount of dietary fat but by protein and exercise.

I'm 83lbs and according to the sticky (0.4gfat/lbw) I need about 33g fats only. I'm not a newbie and I've read the stickies more than 3 times.

I never thought that it is determined by absolute amount of dietary fat. But the fact I read somewhere that more carbs and fats and less protein = more likely to gain fat...

EAT UP . srs bro.

One for question though.. I always read people suggesting about fat-protein meals, carb-protein meals but never carb-fat meal. Why?

They believe that the carbs cause an insulin spike which then puts all the dietary fat into fat cells permanently. However, this is totally incorrect and no such segregation of macros is necessary.

Is your weight really 83 lbs? That would be exceedingly low at 15 years of age, however 83 kg would also be exceedingly high, so render me confused. LBS means pounds which is less than half of a kilogram. So if your weight is 83 kilograms, you need around 80 g of fat, also consider that the calorie needs from the stickies are not appropriate for people <21 years of age, and if you are really at 83 lbs you need to eat way way more unless you are also very short for your age.

[VincentiT]

lol, total cals bro!! My fats fluctuate from 80g on most days to 120-130 on some days. It's not a big deal. And ad mentioned, the numbers are minimums.

[narismen]

EAT UP . srs bro.

^^^ this

Sorry, my bad I didn't included my height. I'm 5ft 1"

[NegatronPrime]

-feltgoodman

[Haligonian]

I personally always feel great after a high fat day

Smash a peanut butter nutella omelette out and you wont regret the fat intake I assure you.

OP, you need to eat more in general I think my friend, don't sweat it and just chow down. You should post your stats so we can accurately help inform you

[Dujin77]

The minimum for fat is actually .45g per TOTAL body weight in average or lean individuals, reread the sticky.

Also a 500 calorie surplus would do you some good bro, eat more srs.

Didn't I stated earlier that I am already on a 500 c surplus and on a bulk. And It really works out to 37.35g fat, dont know why u are telling me to reread the sticky bro. I realised it's the minimum, so I'm not freaked now, thanks to VincentiT and NegatronPrime

Why do you count everything at the age of 15 and a height which certainly is a sign that you are definitely still growing? Go and eat a whole jar of your butter and then have a nice big steak, please. Just eat up and lift, don't bother about cals

[hockeytownfan]

The sticky also says that if you are a teenager going through puberty and still growing, disregard the calculations. Why? Because you need way more than you are currently eating. Trust me dude, I was small as a teen, go on the see food diet.

[mike201011]

I assume you are bulking.
So why the fuk do you give a $hit?
One day wont do anything to you. And stop counting cals etc. at 15. Srs.

[brendbro]

Are you seriously this worked up over ONE DAY? it will not make a single difference, do not feel '****ed up' because of something so miniscule. IMO it sounds as though you don't have the best relationship with food... believe me I've been there.

I'm also not entirely sure on what you're getting '****ed up' over?? Your fats are 'too high' yet within your calorie limits... is that even possible?

[ven33]

Age = 15. Are you ****ing serious OP? Judging by your avi you could use some more tbsp's....

[illiniStrive]

Age: 15

/thread

[wZk.60]

Age : 15
Weight : 83lbs

You shouldn't be counting...

lol who rated it a 5* thread?

[sunngodd]

today's macros were better than your target macros

[frogt3ch]

LMFAO. you look sick dude you need to eat and stop worrying about perfect macros

[Kerbouci]

today's macros were better than your target macros

yeah

[festeri]

Well his height/weight is in the lowest 1-2% for that age so it could be delayed puberty or some other issue. His intake is a bit too low but there is no reason he would have to consume 2-3 grams of fat per kg and I doubt there is a relation between energy intake and size here.

[psychodiver9]

Age = 15. Are you ****ing serious OP? Judging by your avi you could use some more jars....

Fixed

[albert88en]

Eat the damn jar dude! You are 15 and 83lbs! Eat two jars! and a pint of B&J for dessert damn it!

So, does it means if you growing, you can eat the whole dahm jar? I don't think its healthy.

I do not believe amount of calories or macros interfere with growth in height. It is VERY unlikely that you'll stop growing in ur puberty if you don't eat **** loads of calories. Height is all about genetics.

And whats with the stop counting calories thing? Why shouldn't 15 yr old's count calories?

I am concerned about my height, but what can i do about it.

What is delayed puberty?

[joebrosef]

spend less time trying to hit your macros to the dot and more time eating more god damn food and you will grow.

All they are saying is when you are 15 you don't need to be worrying about following you calories so much. Just have fun and be a kid while you can. Your metabolism is so fast and your so thin that you probably don't need to worry about it. When I was your age I ate as much as I could and took weight gainer shakes with milk, ice cream, chocolate syrup and bananas and gained only 5 lbs in like six months which immediately left me once I stopped taking it.

It's more useful at your age to make sure you eat a lot and get sufficient vitamins and minerals so you can grow. Also take advantage of this growing phase of your life and lift heavy with proper form.
