foods i should eat

[hard2name]

So after a while of calculating my calories and macros I came to a conclusion.

Weighing about 170 lbs, 5'11 ft high, 21 years old.
Having a very active job and about to start going hard on the gym.
Doing full body workouts every other day is my plan.

Correct me if I'm somewhat off please.

So my calorie intake should be 3060. Plus a 500 cal surplus

3560 calories a day
170g protein
136- 170g fat. Probably go with about 150g fat
And 680 carbs

Sound about right?

Well my next step is choosing a good diet. Which I will be going grocery shopping in about 2 hours for my diet. I'm on a 100$ budget for this week so hopefully ill have enough.

My question is, which types of foods will be best for my diet.

A lot of the foods i see have very little carbs and fats.

I got myself some 100 percent whey powder as well.

Also another question.

I heard every carb, protein, and fat contains calories.

I will need to calculate these calories to fit into my normal calorie intake right?

If that's true, can someone tell me how many calories does each g of carbs, proteins, and fats contains?

And one last question for everyone, around how much do you guys spend monthly on your diets? I get paid 350$ a week so ill probably be able to afford a decent diet, just hoping I won't be left with 5$ at the end of the month

No it's wrong

1g carb/protein = 4 cal
1g fat = 9 cal

[hard2name]

No it's wrong

1g carb/protein = 4 cal
1g fat = 9 cal

I meant.. does my cal intake and macros sound correct.

Ill have to add every cal from every carb/protein / fat into my cal intake right?

he was telling you thhat your protein, carbs and fat calories dont add up to your total because fat has 9 calories per gram not 4
You would be eating a lot more than 3560 calories with those macros

No it's wrong like I said

Yeah that's what I meant lol.. sorry if I didn't elaborate correctly.. but yeah.. ill be adding the macros cal into my cal intake to make up the full 3560.

But other than that... everything in my macros and cal intake seems good right?

If I'm still wrong, what am I doing wrong? I did some math as shown on the stickies and that's what I got

then repost accurate macros if you think you understand

Damn some people on here really don't like helping. Possibly some of you don't want other people getting fit.

When did I say I understand this 100 percent? I'm asking if I'm correct here.. I'm posting what i think I'm supposed to be consuming, not telling you that I know what I have to take.

Instead of bashing on my calculations why not try and help out instead?

Thanks for posting anyways

WTF


Your macros MUST equal your caloric intake

[hard2name]

Calories :18cal / lb x body weight (170) day
Protein : 1g x 170 = 170g daily
Carbs : 3-4g x 170 = 510- 680
Fat: .4-1g x 170 = 68- 170

TBF the other posters in this have largely bashed you without giving any solid advice... if youve worked out your bulking cals make sure you get atleast 150g protein, around 80g fats and fill your remaining cals how you wish remembering carbs and protein = 4 cals a gram and fat = 9. There are no foods to avoid or purposely buy, eat foods you like to hit your macros and eat enough whole food to make sure your getting micronutrient sufficiency, however obvious staples for most here are chicken,eggs PB,whey, ground beef etc... hope this helped.

Thanks wunsen, I'm just need to ask you this again.

Will I need to calculate all my protein / carbs / and fat calories into my calorie intake to make it add up to 3500? Say.
Say ill add the 150g protein cals into the main cal intake? Which will be about 600 cals.

So I'm at 2900 normal cals,and add the 600 protein cals to add up to 3500?
