Aight so your TDEE is ~2900 which is awesome. The macros are based on what the person believes is the most effective for the set goals. I am goin to use the same percentages I did for my cut which are based off of body weight. Not claiming these are the optimal macros but should work if you stick to them.
71g fats
200g carbs
215g protein
gl brah. let me know if you have any questions.
Yeah, I'm unsure what an ideal weight would be for my height. It isn't so much as a number anymore but I would like to obtain the same physique you had in the 2013 picture. I do have some trouble mentally thinking about bulking because I worked so hard to lose a lot of weight, it's hard to allow the number on the scale to go up, even if I am doing it properly. I'd definitely do it if you think that'd be the best way to go about obtaining a better looking body and I'm assuming it will be part of any success.
Regarding the macros and TDEE. So the goal of hitting macros is to consume those specific grams of fats, carbs and protein daily without going over my TDEE - 25% correct? So that means I can consume up to 2175 calories. By hitting my macros and staying under my calorie goal, does that promote weight loss but retaining muscle? Or should I go about "bulking", meeting my macros goal and then eventually cutting the fat off? Also, any supplements that would aid me? I know whey protein for the macros but have zero knowledge about anything else.
I guess I'll get my answers after some noodz haha.
June 2012 - 235 lbs
Sept 2013 - 180 lbs
lol looking at myself, I'm gonna assume I gotta bulk up and look pretty skinny.
Appreciate the help though.
