Macros *Help with weightloss*
Trying to get a hold on understanding my macros...

Here are my macros for the last few days...

Fat (23%) Carbs (37%) Protein (40%) Alcohol (0%)
Fat (22%) Carbs (31%) Protein (47%) Alcohol (0%)
Fat (18%) Carbs (37%) Protein (44%) Alcohol (0%)

Is this a good direction for weight loss...

Total calories?

You need to aim for , your Lean body mass x 12 = your total caloric intake.

The macros look fine to me.

You can get a caliper test done at most Gym's or use an online calculator but those are not very accurate.

The only relevant macro is that your protien needs to be high enough. Other than that, get in a calorie defecit and you'll lose weight.
