Whats the total macros for all of that??

1600 cals
130g protein
90g fat
84g carbs

1600 cals
130g protein
90g fat
84g carbs

prolly lower the fats a bit,up the protein to 150-160g,calories is really all based on your activity level also,make sure your getting enough so your body has fuel for the daily grind.

Thanks for the advice.

Ideally I go for at least 150g of protein (1g/lbm). However, I have read a couple of different articles on protein and how much we really need. Brad Pilon recommends between 100-130g and another study indicated .82g/BW, which is roughly 1g/lbm. Therefore I really don't mind being a little lower with protein, and I haven't seen much difference. But again, for the most part I do intake at least 150g (90% of the time). I rarely go over 200g.

As for the fat. I have low test (265 ng/DL). From all of my research the one thing that is agreed upon is the importance of fat intake. So really, fat intake with adequate protein intake is my priority. Carbs can suck my weener

Also, you are definitely right about getting enough cals for the daily grind. However, I tend to NOT lose weight unless I'm under 14000 cals for the week. For the most part I'll try to eat lower throughout the week and keep a buffer for Saturday so I can be a little more flexible.

Thanks again. I love comments and feedback.

Saturday/Sunday 12/1-12/2

No working out. Did stretch a lot.
Had a lot of fun going out on Saturday night. Scored tickets to the Clipper game, so I took a good friend of mine and hit the town. Great times. However, I did indulge in gluten infested food! Made it worth it though, Big Mac, Nuggets, McDouble, Oreo Cookies, Milk, Pizza, wings.... lol. It's funny that eating this sh!t really does affect my body, mood, sleep, stomach, etc. I feel a little hungover from it all to be honest. A little shaky.

Cood dude. Cool thing about a log is that it's a constant reminder of your goals. There are times where I read my own log and can remember the mind set I had at the time.

Good luck!
