What is this whole macros spheal that I read about?


Macros are protein, carbs, and fat.

protein and carbs have 4 cals per gram, and fat has 9 cals per gram.

An extension of carbs, alcohol, has 7 cals per gram, but is not technically a macro.

Your body requires protein above all else for proper functioning. Your body can survive on protein only, without carbs and fat, much longer and better than other other SINGLE macro. That being said, the body doesn't require THAT much protein either, approximately 1-1.5g per pound of bodyweight for an extremely athletic person on a strength training routing. For fat, the body requires a certain amount of fat for proper hormone regulation, particularly good fats for cholesterol regulation. Generally, 50-100g of fat per day is fine in anyone, as long as the total calories are in order with your diet. Lastly carbs - these are the macros you need to take care with. Once protein and fat are accounted for, the balance of your diet will most likely be with carbs (unless you are on keto or a hard cutting cycle). Carbs have two varieties, slow and fast digesting. The slow digesting carbs, aka complex carbs, come from sources such as whole grains, sweet potatoes, beans, fibrous vegetables, etc. Fast digesting carbs, aka simple carbs, come from mostly sugar based items and simple items, such as white rice, white flour, ice cream, soda, certain fruits, etc. In general, the more complex the carbs, the less insulin response, and thus the least amount of total fat gain in a set period of time. However, insulin response is desirable at certain times of the day, such as immediately post workout with protein. I could literally go on and on about this forever, but I think you must get the idea by now. Here are two of my posts below that may also help.

Also for the GAT Jetfuel ... how many do I take before a workout or with cardio?

edit:

Jet fuel should be taken approximately 20 minutes before working out with around 16-20 oz of water. On days off, take 2-3 capsules if you need a boost midway through the day. Alternatively, you can take the jet fuel immediately upon waking up with at least 20 oz of water, then do morning fasted cardio, for increased fat loss.

So if I wanted to do fasted cardio, I would wake up, take how many pills? and then go do cardio


How long after the cardio should I eat breakfast and take the other things (NOW, Omega, D3)



2-3 pills prior to fasted cardio.

approximately 15-30 minutes after cardio you should eat your first meal.

hey ray
If i take my vitamins, do I have to eat fruits? lol
they just take up a lot of my carbs and I'm trying to eat other carbs I like.

I do eat my greens tho, from my salad + mixed veggies with rice + gonna start celery with PB.


The natural antioxidants from fruits, as well as the more assimilable vitamins contained therein, would be bad to lose. However, the vitamin supplements would HELP. It really depends on you as a person. Your body can certainly do without them, but for long term health, the human body benefits greatly from fruits/veggies w/ natural lean meats as the primary staple.

Hello again Raynor, hope all is well!

I am still running keto but have found myself struggling to intake the proper calories. My maintenance is 2100 calories. My diet today (usually the exact same each day) consisted of 1600 calories, 83g fat, 20 carbs, 170g protein.  I also spent about 2 hours (usually always between 1.5-2 hours)  lifting, followed by 30 minutes of hiit.

With a low estimate of saying I burned 500 calories between lifting/running, that puts me at 1100 calories for the entire day, 1k below maintenance.  That seems TOO low to me.

Would I be better off dropping keto and just monitoring purely calories?  That way on days I am too low I could grab a quick calorie filler like a bowl of oatmeal or something.  Or should I just find a way to intake more calories while remaining in keto?  I feel that 1k defecit is too low, but I don't feel energy drained or hungry.

I weigh every meal!  I leave for vacation in three weeks, not expecting drastic changes but want to maximize as much as possible before then!

Thanks again in advance, can't believe how many years its been!

Sample Keto Meals


As for adding additional keto calories, protein shakes (If you need more protein), and OLIVE OIL + avocados + seasoning (mix them up and eat it with a spoon or dip raw celery in it) OR drinking heavy cream (mmmmm) will give you a TON of calories to balance you out.

Just remember to cycle off keto ONCE a week and do a full carb day.

The images got deleted.

What I wanted to ask is: for my 3000 kcal is it cool if I do 300 carbs, 260 protein, 85 fat?

And my bodyfat test said I am 9.2%. Is that bullshit or wot?



Apparently so.

Those macros should be OK. 9.2% BF? What type of testing did you use? Electronic? Underwater? Caliper?
