I agree to an extent. I don't really believe in body types because I seem to have attributes of all three, dispersed in an equal amount. Another reason I don't believe in body types is that they were formalised by an exercise physiologist with no scientific research backing his claims. However, you're right in the way that you suggest that fat "is not as clear cut as protein." According to the stickies, my daily fat requirements are around 70g-75g but I usually ingest 60g-65g. Whilst this is not marginally lower, it still is lower than the intake suggested in the stickies.
Again, a great tool to use when dieting nonetheless.
Another question, why is it that your estimates are higher than other diet calculators on the internet? My maintenance works out to be about 2500-2600 calories using other methods but yours suggests I need 2900 calories. I agree with yours for the most part, due to my age, and the amount of activity I do. But, I'm just curious as to why it is 300-400 calories higher than others.timetoshred.jpg

The websites not working at the moment but I've always gone to www.freedieting.com. However, when I calculate my macros in the stickies, they seem to correlate with your macros estimates in the spreadsheet.
My bad. Forgot to mention that.timetoshred.jpg

^^^^^^^^^THis
All the diet macro calculators that I've ran my numbers on vary up or down about 300 calories. Freedieting has the lowest for my maintance at 2800. Seems low to me but when I hand calculate using the sticky formula's I get very close to that. Fitnessfrog puts my maintenance at 3100. I've settled in at 2200-2500 on a cut. We'll see how it goes. Be nice to hear about more bro's my size cutting instead of all the 155lb'ers who repeatedly make threads about can't eat enough and too hard to gain...LOL
