you can have good bloods but during training misfireI have no idea how much potassium, sodium, and magnesium I’m getting per day. I know my doctor ran labs and they said my electrolyte levels were fine.
I’m pretty sure I’m getting enough sodium. I season everything I eat haha. My protein prefer has added sodium and a little bit of potassium.
I do take a multivitamin also.

So should I order a magnesium and potassium supplement?you can have good bloods but during training misfire
you gotta get some potassium and magnesium caps and take baking soda 1/2 tsp in AM
i would get the powder, cheaper and legitSo should I order a magnesium and potassium supplement?
you should be doing avocado not all bananaAlso post workout I’m always eating a ripe banana. And if I’m working out immediately after breakfast then I’ll have a banana preworkout.
Is that sufficient potassium? Let me now if so I’ll order some magnesium and potassium.
Also I just checked my pwo has potassium and sodium in it.you should be doing avocado not all banana
banana is good to start though
you still need electrolytes extra imo

@Mk11kh legit updates man.......So I found a different macro calculator.
I didn’t go up in weight at all this week. So I think I need to eat a little more.
This macro calculator suggests I eat about 200ish calories more, which sounds about right. I do tons of walking all day.
View attachment 149537
Does 267g of protein and 118g of fat and rest carbs sound about right?
I’m currently at 154.4lbs.
What do you guys think?
you found one I see alreadyGood morning everyone! Can anyone recommend a good macro/calorie calculator?
The bodybuilding.com one I was using isn’t working anymore and I wanted to update my macros today.
Thanks
267 grams of protein is a good level and 100 grams of fats is good but carbs you can go with around 250-300gramsSo I found a different macro calculator.

how did you get to this level of macros? please share meals from the apps if you can broI updated my macros today.
Goal is 3567
Protein 267
Fats 118
Carbs 356
Actual 3566
Protein 273
Fats 113
Carbs 388
Food is basically the same. I'm just adding a 1/4 cup of almonds to lunch and dinner. Adding another 1/4 cup of lean ground beef to lunch/post workout meal. And 1 more tortilla at lunch
I’m confused. After 273g of protein and 113g of fat the remainder has to be carbs. And yes the majority of my carbs are coming in post training.you found one I see already
267 grams of protein is a good level and 100 grams of fats is good but carbs you can go with around 250-300grams
you're looking good but you do need carbs to high volume train
calories arent that important broI’m confused. After 273g of protein and 113g of fat the remainder has to be carbs. And yes the majority of my carbs are coming in post training.
because previously I was eating 354g of carbs. The increase of carbs is coming from the fiber from almonds.
Here's a screen shot of my excel spreadsheet I'm using to keep track of my meal planning.
View attachment 149541
also remember to time your carbs around training for more intensity broOk I adjusted the macros. I bumped up the protein to 300g and cut the fat to 100g. I want to keep the calories at 3500 just because of the amount of cardio I get outside of the gym on a daily basis.
View attachment 149546
I cut down on the tortillas, and increased my protein powder intake to 2 scoops per meal. Ugh I'm going through a 7lb tub of protein powder a month FML

I would up your n2guard dose to 10 caps on the days you have cramps, it will help detox the lactic acid and cortisol build up bro @Mk11khI’m taking the standard dosage of N2guard. My preworkout has electrolytes in it and I usually have a banana preworkout meal.

4lbs is nothing bro, its normal and your bdaySo I gained 4lbs over the Thanksgiving week and my birthday. A little more than what I wanted. I’m attributing it more so to the new macro calculator I used. I’m going to decrease my calories just a bit.
Going down to 3253 calories a day. Not adding any carbs.
I’ll post a progress pic tomorrow

I’m swapping out regular white potatoes for sweet potatoes this week. My waist is going a little thicker which I’m not thrilled about. But otherwise pleased with my progress so far.
I’m doing isolated seated incline chest press but with my torso rotated so that only the upper pec is getting usedFor the delt taking over issue I'd tweak hand width and or the angle
you're doing it right broI’m doing isolated seated incline chest press but with my torso rotated so that only the upper pec is getting used
Not good but take some extra vitamin C, D and multi vitamins. @Mk11khWell I woke up with a nasty cold![]()
Went to the doctor. They said it’s just a bad sinus infection. I feel better today. Going to try working out at home todayNot good but take some extra vitamin C, D and multi vitamins. @Mk11kh
