    What amount of fat/protien/carbs should I be aiming for?

    Just starting out on this journey.

    Hopefully this will help

    height 5'9 (female)
    weight 154
    BF%...probably around 18-20%

    I am guessing I should be around 1600 calories? Can anyone break that down for me as far as grams of f/p/c for me?

    Thank you so much

    9 for fat.

    Aim for 65% fat/30% protein/5% carbs

    So for 1600 calories: 116g fat/120g protein/20g carbs
    IIFYM. That's it.
