I used Mike Matthews numbers to calculate my macros. For cutting he recommends (for someone who is under 30% body fat) 1.2 protein/lb, 1 carb/lb and 0.2 fat/lb. I am 160lbs (5"9), so my numbers are 192 p, 160 c and 32 f. I (along with probably a lot of other women) are worried my carb intake is too high. I haven't lost any weight yet (its been 3 weeks), but I've lost about half an inch on my waist, hips and right thigh each. Is that a better indicator?
When I put my numbers into https://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ I got 117 p, 155 c and 63 f. That confused me even more!
Help!
