I did a macros calculator that told me it should look like this
CARBS: 175 G PER DAY.
PROTEIN: 175 G PER DAY.
FATS: 39 G PER DAY.
Does this seem like too much of a gap between carbs and fats? I was just reading about a fat burning hormone adiponectin, and how not eating enough fats could lower this hormone.
I'm 5'9, 216lbs, around 30% body fat, and my TDEE is 2,836. I work 5-6 days a week and stand for most of that time, which can span anywhere from 6-8 hours. Recently also started to lift things without anyones help, and noticed my muscles grow and my arms become more tight when I flex them.
but yeah, I've just been trying to do calculations of what my macros should look like for the past few hours, and I just keep reading different things.
I did calculations and I got
151 grams of protein
86 grams of fat
however I'd like some advice on the carbs part

You could go as low as .35g of fat per lbs (research by Eric Helms).
I personally prefer .4 grams of fat per LBS and 1 gram of protein per lbs.
Fill the rest up with carbs or whatever~!- Slow progress, is progress.
- Losing fat is a marathon, not a race.
- Take care of your body, you've only got one.
- Progressive overload + good form.
