How are my macros? HELP

[iMac46]

Right now, my macros are:
3000 cals
Carbs 375g
Protein 225g
Fat 66g

Am I consuming too much protein? I weigh 155 lbs. Also, I take in around 2-3 scoops of whey protein in a day. Is that too much?

P.S. Im bulking now

[jsk16]

you dont need that much protein. only 1g/lb of lean mass. so 150-160g is more than enough at your weight. also try to eat more real food, dont rely on powders to build muscle

I see. Yes i try my best to consume my protein from whole foods.

And i only take in protein when necessary. I take 20g whey when i wake up, 20g whey pre-workout, 30g whey post workout, and 20g whey before sleeping. Thats a total of 90g whey which is equal to 3 scoops. Is that ok?

Nah. 1-2 scoops unless the label says otherwise. you're alrdy consuming far too much protein and you're just wasting the whey with 3 scoops

Way to much protein, you could increase your fats a bit, and carbs seem pretty high. I am 200lbs and when I bulk I eat around 450g of carbs, but if you are having a hard time gaining weight than this is fine

Too much protein.

Increase fat and carbs.


Stop believing in protein timing.

Definitely too much protein especially if a good bit of it comes from a whey supplement, you're just wasting money at that point. I'd lower to around 180 at the most, and up the fats to about 80.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I lowered my protein and increased fats. Now it looks like this:
Carbs 375g
Protein 187g
Fats 83g

How's that?

P.S. Should i remove my Pre-workout whey? So ill be taking in whey upon waking up, post workout, and before sleeping

Honestly bro. Don't always believe what you read here. Yes, ATLEAST in-take 1g/lb of protein, but 1-2g/lb won't hurt you.Never too much protein ! But the whole. "Don't rely on protein whey" blah blah. I was intaking over 75% of my protein intake from protein powders about 10 months ago, on a consistent basis for about 8 months. Due to personal issues. And I saw great gains. I took my multi , and the other 25% of protein was from lean meats. Basically, experiment for yourself and see what works for your body. If you notice consistent, great gains , the way you're doing it, stick to it. Don't change anything & Don't always listen to everyone else. Everyone is different & responds to things differently, to a certain degree.

So you got 167g of protein/day from processed fast food during the course of an 8 month period?

Sounds optimal.

Where exactly did you get that from, on my post? And I saw great gains with or without supplementing that much protein powder into my diet. Either way. Kick your ass in the gym, hit your macros...Any possible way, everyday & stay consistent...He will see results.
