    help with macros

    Hey guys, having a hard time figuring out on what to set for my macros for a cutting diet. I'm 6'1", 234lbs and I believe my maintenance calories are around 3000. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure how to calculate macros for cutting, but if your maintenance is 3000 caps, I'm not saying this os correct, but if I was in your position I would consume 2000
    calories per day, keep protein intake higher then usual, fat intake low, then carbs to help you reach 2000 calories , if your not cutting from that, lower calories again.

    Don't do this OP

    ~2500-2700 calories. Adequate fat and protein
