@iowakid8401 That would seem logical right? Protein is for feeding your muscles not your fat, and as such how much muscle you have (or are seeking) would dictate your needs. At 37% body fat, 37% of your body weight is not muscle and does not require protein in order to sustain itself. But if...

@iowakid8401 175 pounds at 15% gives a lean mass of 149 pounds. At my current consumption level (1.3 grams per kilogram of lean mass), that would be 88 grams for you. You can always have more, but that would give you the same ratio as me. If you wanted to round up for a fudge factor, 95-100...

@iowakid8401 Sounds good. At your current lean body mass, you’d be 175 pounds at 15% body fat. That’s a great goal.

@iowakid8401 237 pounds at 37% body fat is 149 pounds of lean mass. At one gram per kilogram that’s 68 grams of protein, even if you upped that by 50% (1.5 grams per kilogram) you would be at roughly 100 grams per day. I’m 190 pounds at 15% body fat giving me 161 pounds of lean mass, and I...

@jimishasmom A package of pasta by itself might have 1300+ calories and it’s very easy to make it disappear. Add in some fresh herbs, garlic, some olive oil or cashew cheese / vegan pesto and you could easily have 2,000+ calories in a single meal. I stay away from it because it’s so easy to...

@adamc So 30% protein 25% fat and 45% carb… I’m at 55% carb, 25% fat, 20% protein and that’s been a real winner for me (does a lot of BJJ and weight lifting). But macros are all relative. My carbs come mainly from organic fruit juices and smoothies, fat comes from organic raw coconut butter...

@asparien This triggers the debate of course of “what counts as cardio”. I have a resting heart rate around 58 BPM, and cardio for me is anything that sustains me above like 110 BPM for duration. I never get anywhere near that walking. But if you do, I’d say it’s hard to argue your heart and...
