P/F/C Ratio for new diet plan

[OneArmedBandit]

I am 6 1' 172 lbs. Slightly active and wanting to bulk

I have a breakdown as follows

2900 Cals per day

225 Protein
78 Fat
324.5 Carb


How do those ratios look?

There's nothing drastically wrong with it - but..

Fat intake doesn't need to be that low. Also for your size, protein could easily be 50g a day lower on a bulk

If you're not massively active, you don't need barrowloads of carbs. Trimming 50g each from protein & carb and eating those calories as fat (up 45g) would give you a diet that works just as well, but gives you more food choices & a diet that's going to be much more palatable.

You may also find it keeps your blood sugar levels on more of an even keel.

Ratios don't makes sence. You'll find yourself taking in way to many unneeded nutrients on one side or another. Take into account protein/carbs have 4 calories/G and fat has 9 calories/G. Start with a calorie goal, say 2900c,
W=Weight
P = Protein
F =Fat

aim for

F=.5-.7*W.
P=1.5-2*W.

So... 2900-F(9)+P(4)=X
Take X and divide by 4 (carbs have 4 cal/g) to get the remainder of your calories in carb grams. With dis here formula you will get the exact grams of nutrients your body will need to gain dat der weight. Same goes for cutting and bulking. Your just going to change the calorie variable to where you need. Hope that helps Bra
