are my macros correct?

[cfrs123]

2600 calories
160g of protein
81g of fat
500 carbs

Highly active trying to lose weight

Edit new numbers with feedback:

2600 cals
144g protein
81g of fat
341g of carbs

[WonderPug]

Set TDEE to ~80% to 90% of TDEE.

Macronutrient Intake

Protein: ~0.6 to ~0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research.

Fat: ~0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical observation.

Remaining caloric budget: whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer -- as implied by research.

So I can cut out carbs all together and replace with fats and protein?

You'd go into ketosis. But technically. Yea.
Except to feel weird for awhile if you do that...

FYI: that is functionally impossible to do as you would have to avoid all fruit, all vegetables, all nuts, all seeds and even eggs and virtually all dairy products.

[AnderzMan]

Ignoring Keto as I don't think you know/want to do that... why would you want to avoid all carbs and replace with protein?

If you get an ample enough amount as shown above then why not add veggies as they're good, fill you up and give you plenty of micronutrients!

[cfrs123]

I want to be lean. Just going to the gym everyday isn't cutting it. I want to be in shape for summer

[AnderzMan]

Then I suggest you check out the calculating macros thread which is a sticky and use that, worked and is working again for me and has worked for loads of others too! You'll get there

[cfrs123]

I did, that's how I got the first numbers

[iLLiSTiLLuSioN]

144P
81F
341C

Came out to 2,669 calories. How much do you weigh?

[cfrs123]

180. Want to get down to 160

We weigh about the same then. I've been on 215P/250C/70F and it's been working great. Comes out to ~2,490calories
