Read the sticky on how to calculate macros please. You don't need 5k calories.

One thing that sticks out to me:Originally Posted by jayfad
42g of saturated fat vs 9g of poly/mono.
Saturated fat isn't as huge of a deal as once thought but mono and poly are very beneficial in terms of hormone production and inflammation help, respectively.Life is constant learning. Give advice about things you know. Ask questions about things you don't.

Where did you get the idea for this plan?
Any diet which recommends that much protein immediately raises my concern...
And 28g of fiber on 5k calories? No....
You need to start from square one again."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

He probably made a mistake in his counting because total fat is 116 gram.Originally Posted by Nicksosure1
216 gram sugar btw. I wonder what this plan is.
