I just worked out my macros for cutting and it said I need to be getting 332g of carbs. This doesn't sound right.

Which is better high protein low carbs or high carb low protein?
>>
I do 40/40/20 p/c/f.

Are u cutting, bulking, or maintaining?
>>
>>36392564

I cut on 170p, 268c, 82f. To be honest I'm not even sure I need that much protein.
>>
>>36392614
Cutting man. I was doing 70/20/10 p/c/f
>>
>>36392626
Do u have a manual labor job or something? That is a shit load of calories.
>>
>>36392655

yeah actually. also i'm 6'1 200lbs.
>>
>>36392637
>70% protein
Thats retarded

Switch 50% for carbs
>>
>>36392670
I am 180 and I cut on like 1500. But I am a desk jockey accountant.
>>
>>36392692

maybe it's my job but i tried cutting on 1800 once and i literally couldn't even talk at the end of the day. even 2300 i still feel weak as fuck. it's not my first cut so i know 2500 is the right amount for me. to be honest i think you're maybe going too low. women cut on 1500 calories mate...
>>
>>36392676
Thought so

So my macros are:
>123 Protein
>30 Fat
>332 Carbs
>2376 Calories

I'm 70kg 6'1". Does this sound right?
>>
>>36392711

no not at all. first of all why would you cut at that weight/height ratio? also you need to up your fats by shitload. protein isn't too bad but i'd still eat AT VERY LEAST 150g a day if i were you, maybe a bit more just to be safe.
>>
>>36392726
Lost a lot of mass after my bulk due to injury but still maintained some of the fat. I prefer physique over mass any day so I'm trying to get my abs back. I do have muscle so I'm not hungry skelly just ottermode. Then I will start gaining again

Why more fats though?
>>
>>36392739

Having so few will fuck up with your hormone production.
>>
>>36392747
I'm sold. What do you think of the carbs though? Is that too many? I really don't it should be that many, maybe like 100g less
>>
>>36392780

I cut on a lot of calories because of a physical job and I only get 268g in so yeah, seems like too much. Aim for like 168p, 80f, 240c. That's 2350 cals a day, which at your height if you're actually moving should be enough. Then again you're already thin, if 2350 is too much lower the carbs, not the rest.

168p / 80f is a minimum
>>
>>36392797
Awesome. Thanks a lot mate you've been a great help!
>>
>>36392819

all gonna make it
>>
>>36392692
what the fuck I'm 5'9" 160 and all the bullshit calculators said my 20% deficit was 2010 or something kcal. Been eating that for about 4 weeks and I'm hungry. Admittedly not losing the 1lb per week I am supposed to though.

what resources do you use? I'm afraid if i dumped another 500 off my intake id lose what little muscle i have

Should I keep eating at 2010 and just go for a run every day?
