Re: How do you know the right amount of calories and macro ratio to maintain new mass
That whole post just shows how extremely little you actually know about nutritional science.
First I'll address how a 200lb has the same protein requirements in two diets. Protein dietary requirements are a function of bodyweight and more importantly LBM. All the research (and there's lots, eg: Evaluation of protein requirements for trained strength athletes: Evaluation of protein requirements for trained strength athletes
Effect of Protein Intake on Strength, Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes: JISSN | Full text | Effect of Protein Intake on Strength, Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes ) show this. The research also quite clearly indicates that eating more protein than 1.8g/kg (0.82g/lb) has no additional benefit to muscular or strength gains. Therefore, protein requirements should be set around these targets regardless of caloric intake.
Secondly, that's extremely inaccurate method to try figure out total calories. A better one is the Katch McArdle and then multiply by an activity. Even then it's an estimate and you should monitor weight changes and adjust accordingly to give you a better understanding.
I've already addressed in previous posts why %s don't work. Read them again. You can quite easily end up with extremely over-the-top protein recommendations and potentially levels of dietary fat that are hazardous to health.
And yes, I can see you are clueless.
Your lost bro.
Hey do your thing we'll do ours. Got over a decade of doing this not gonna argue.
How you cant understand this is beyond me really!? Its laid out cold! Its not the same! As you have your numbers make no sense
A. Pick your body weight you want to be
B. Pick the body fat you want to be
C. X body fat X desired weight
D. Take away total of body fat this will equal your LBM!
E. Take lbm and x that number by 14 or 16 this will be total marcos
F. Divide that marcos by your 50/20/30 protien carbs fats
G. Whatever 50% is of marcos divide by 4 bc 4cals = per gram of protien
Thats how its done am clueless as to what your trying to get at or do lead alone explain bc your still doing a percent but you saying dont do a percent so forth!!!
And how the hell you get a 200lb person eatting 2000 or 4000 cals and the same protien?! This is beside me really are you trolling?
