>is macro counting a meme?
I have always counted my calories, but here for the past 6 or 8 months my wife has been counting her macros, as a result she is eating more calories than she was before, has lost bodyfat and has increased on her lifts. This makes me think there may be some truth to macro counting. What does Jow Forums think?
>half calories from carbs
What the fuck
how would calculating the macronutrients of the food you eat be a meme? almost every pro athlete/bodybuilder does this
this is pretty standard for a normal diet. ive usually went between 45-55 while i was tracking depending on what kind of training i was doing.
t. dyel
that's normal you dyel faggot
>not replacing your glycogen store
No, always monitor your macros.
Because fat and carbs are used for energy, does it matter what ratio I get on them? Some days my carbs are at 50% fat around 30% but other days it flips (like if I eat ribs for dinner). Does it actually matter for me? I'm 6'2" 200lbs male
>r8 or h8 my macros
On a slight cut 6’2 210lbs.
>he fell for the protein meme
You need carbs user to fuel your body if you work out.
oh look some one is premium. rich faggot.
>$50 makes you rich
Holy fuck spotted poverty
>high carbs make you have a gut
>athletes/competitors need high carbs
Which one is it /o/?
Absolutly count your calories. If you are consistent and are withing 5grams of your macro's daily and 50cals, you will find that you can remove as a little as 20g of carbs and 5g of fat and that will have huge effects on your body composition.
Example of standard set up often used:
50% carbs
25%fat
25% prot
>>high carbs make you have a gut
Wrong.
What app is this? How do I get into macro counting?
MyFitnessPal
it has literally every food imaginable already in it, and you can add your own recipes.
>50% carbs
For me thats just not realistic, I lift a lot and do LIGHT cardio (run a mile a day) and If I was eating those macros I would be fat, then again I am "carb sensitive"
Post wife
perfect setup is
40 carbs
30 protein
30 fat
prove me wrong
Who is trolling who? Highest part is obviously protein.
in MFP carbs are always blue
No, it isn't. You need enough protein to build muscle (if bulking) and preserve it (if cutting). You also need enough fat to promote hormonal balance and enough carbs to give yourself better energy throughout the day.
That said, the keto idiots are wrong when they say carbs make you fat. The calorie-dense "carb foods" they think of, like cakes, and donuts, are actually high in fat. Try getting fat off an all-potato or all-oatmeal diet and see how easy it is compared to an all-bacon diet. Weight loss and weight gain are both about calories in vs calories out, plain and simple. You don't need a lot of fat to keep your T from dropping.
the fact that you should eat more then 600 calories a day
>30 protein
Yea if youre DYEL
Every athlete counts macros, so obviously it works.
How do I incorporate more fat into my diet?
What I eat every day:
Grilled chicken
Yogurt (I buy the extra protein kind which sadly is fat free)
Bananas
Protein powder
Broccoli
eat peanut butter with your bananas.
those goals are trash
>carbs 50%
>protein 20%
I hope you run a lot and dont lift.
this is called actually eating for getting stronger
personally I eat more fat because I cba eating super-clean, but carbs are usually 40%+
keto is the biggest fucking meme since crossfit
uhm show body pic now please
wtf are you homeless?
>crossfit is a meme
Yea these dudes are so not in shape
Clocking in at around 3k kcal
328g carbs
95g fat
198g protein
5'10", 80kg, semi-clean bulking (I fucking refuse to eat chicken/tuna though, hence higher fat percentage).
>trips of retardation
Did you once in your life read a nutrition label?
>not using a modded APK that enables premium features
I'm so sick of brown rice
>the top performers of the ultimate meme sport are in shape, therefore crossfit for the remaining 99% is a good idea
>imblying they built those physiques doing crossfit and not conventional strength training
if you want very little results and a lot of injuries, crossfit is a good place to start
That's been my story of 2018 doing 6 day PPL after hitting 1/2/3/4 x5 on starting strength. I might as well join crossfit so I can have injured friends as well
>brown rice
Complete meme, white sticky rice is king
>middle class failed normie
that's a funny way of saying 50/25/25
