Also, you shouldn't try to lose anymore than 1lbs a week max.

the safe weight is losing 2 pounds per week at maximum. But thanks. I have a trainer that's designed the weight loss for me just wanted to see someone elses feedback on the diet itself not what it's intended for.

Then why post here?

By the way, if you did want substantive comments, you should post total caloric intake and a breakdown of the macronutrients that compose the calories.

[xosaraxo2010]

I wasn't looking for comments on how much I could loose. Just the density of the diet in itself. I like insight.

Macros are:

1,290 calories
125g carbs
21g fat
146g protein

I'm sure what you mean by the "density of the diet". Are you asking if you're eating calorically dense foods?

If that that's what you're asking, then the answer is no.

You're eating dramatically too little fat. If I were you, I'd shoot for at least 0.4 to 0.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. But perhaps you don't want me to comment on that obvious problem with your diet...

I wasn't being mean in regards to the commenting just wanting to know people thought.

Can you give me the reasoning behind more fat? I could start cooking with more olive oils and fattier foods. etc.

Your body needs fat to normalize hormones and help with skin, nails and hair. Fat also keeps you fuller for longer amounts of time from my experience. It also makes relatively bland food taste good.

So what's the ratio I should aim for? 60/?/? lol

Sounds like you would be much better off just reading the sticky at the top about how to calculate your calories and macros. That has all the info you need, and the correct info.

seriously.

1,290 calories
125g carbs
21g fat
146g protein

fat way too low. needs to be at least .4-.5 g/lb. cals too low. read the sticky. trainers usually don't know much abt nutrition. don't listen to his advice unless he has a separate degree or certificate in nutrition, and in this case, it clearly looks like he doesn't.

As others have said, you really should read the stickies and get a general idea about nutrition.

That said, as a very quick guideline, you should shoot for a minimum of 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass and a minimum of 0.4 to 0.5 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight.

Unless you're going on a specialized diet, such as keto, you can fill the remaining calories with any distribution of macronutrients.

thank for the rudeness. I took 4 years of nutrition through university, I am on a specialized diet, to compete, I have a trainer just wanted a basic idea. I have been eating clean for 4 years. I didn't come here to inquire. Just wanted to know the ratio because I"m used to the 60/20/20 or 40/30/30 splits. So I'm sorry for asking. A mod can lock this if they want, and I won't inquire anymore.

[WonderPug]

thank for the rudeness. .

Actually, you are the one who has been rude to those that have offered you help.

I took 4 years of nutrition through university, I am on a specialized diet, to compete, I have a trainer just wanted a basic idea.

If you had four years of training at the college level and you currently have professional assistance in the form of a trainer, why would you need to come to a public forum asking for "a basic idea"?
