calculating calories and macronutrients... please help :(

[AvaOlivia]

Hi,

I know this will probably make me sound really dumb but I can't workout my calorie or macronutrient needs. I've read the sticky on it over and over but the numbers and percentages and formulas just confuse me

Can someone please write it out the steps for me in a really simple way.

I really want to do this right and I know the sticky probably is really simple to most people but its just too much for me to workout I'm confused by it.

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Sorry think I've posted this twice by mistake smartphone froze

Hey dude, google scoobysworkshop. He has a pretty simple calculator that helps. Another one would be the one in my signature. Use GETFIT13 to avoid paying for it.
Also just mentioned it in a similar thread but hope it helps.

hehe, i felt the same exact way when i first encountered the thread. dont be afraid and just get a calculator out and start plugging numbers. maybe you're overwhelmed by all the info? calculate your body fat % first. if you dont know how, read around, google it.

.4-1g fat per pound bw. protein 1g per pound of bw fill the remainder of calories in with a combination of whichever macros you like
