Carbs = 1292 45%
Protein = 860 30%
Fat = 720 25%

Total = 2872

I don’t have much input on this but I like seeing what macros people do and how it works out for them. Your protein intake -is- high, it’s well above 2.2g/kg for muscle building, definitely not double, but since you’re very active and need extra calories protein seems like a good source. More green leafys like hilter suggested wouldn’t hurt, but they severely lack calories. Anyways, I want to get back into nutrition, so ty for the numbers to play around with!

This may or may not be helpful. The estimated calorie requirements seem awfully high.
fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dri-calculator/

Have a great day, Jeff!

3228kcal. Which again seems like a crazy number to reach having to basically avoid protein all day haha! .gov tryin to kill bigj!

That calculator definitely shook up my numbers.. 33 y/o, 5'8, very active, 140lb.

Carb-363-525g
Fiber- 38g
Protein- 51g
Fat- 72-126g

All other stats0- Low as possible while consuming nutritionally adequate diet.

That vitamin/mineral section is suuuuuper interesting...

That 50g of recommended protein seems soooo low tho! I'd get that in 1 post workout shake!? At that point you almost have to strategize how to cut back on your daily intake protein, that's tough!

[Cecily]

How many calories did it want you on? Not sure I trust these numbers at all. 50g protein is .8g/kg (sedentary) so it’s not adjusting that for your activity level. Might wanna disregard. Figured .gov would be a good source. Minerals and vitamins might be accurate.

greens for nutrients, meats dairy and cheese for fats

skip the carbs

PS Start gardening today, everything available in the store is horrible and if you care about yourself start taking some initiative to grow your own stuff. Start with greens.

Just load up on honey buns. They contain nature’s sweetener, honey, and are a great source of monosaccharides. At 400 calories per, honey buns make otherwise hard to reach caloric goals easy to attain.
