Hey all.
Just playing around with my necessary kcalorie intake using Carb Cyling codex's advised numbers, and those on bodybuilding.com
I'm 23 year old male, 170llbs, 5' 11". Body fat is, at a guess 17% and i really want that right down asap!
Using CCCodex i should be on 2450kcalories to burn fat, and so worked out i need 255g protein/212.g carb/64g fat. however, Codex's example is on just 33, and bodybuilding.com suggests less than 20! if i was to do either id have to up my protein and fat well above the 1.5/bodyweight necessary under both articles.
today, using fitday, i've had 48g from
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2.5 cups skim milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 portion houmous
and also i have 2-3 fish capsules a day as well. i should be having a fat post-post workout but as i eat late at night that would just be another capsule.
how much fat do you take in? what fat is necessary? im aiming to control, rather than minimize carbs (ie morning, pre and post evening wo) and the fats should control my protein at all other times.
it doesnt quite tally up. if i was maintaining on 2800kcals using a regular 40/40/20 id need 1020kcals of carb and protein and 90g fat to make up the difference - and that sounds a lot!
any advice or opinion?
