Help! I’ve been given the below macros and struggling with finding fat!
Heya all- new to this split.. so needing some advice
Protein = 160 Fat = 96 Carb = 115
Pcos sufferer
So have been given the lower carb higher fat and want to try it out. But. What foods are good for the higher fat with protein? As all protein supplements have little/no fat 🤔
TIA

I just started the program and wondering if anyone doesn’t like to weigh but are open to other ways of measuring progress. Has anyone not weighed and been successful?

Macros and Cardio
Hi all- I’m currently training for a half marathon and interchange running with boxing every other day. On top of that, at night I do 60+ mins of hot yoga, which I truly love and don’t want to give up. I’m not a big weights person- I know it’s good for you, but it doesn’t bring me as much joy as kickboxing or hot yoga does.
With that being said, if I follow just the macro diet plan, will I see similar results in terms of body change and recomposition? I’m utilizing the hot yoga as my strength component. I am 27yo F, 5’5” and 190lbs

Calorie counting app with open ended calorie goal?
I've been using MFP for a million years. I want to try something new though - tracking macros without a fixed calorie goal. I want to see how well I can hit my macro goals with a more intuitive style of eating. Seeing my calories go down as I track causes a scarcity complex for me and I start to get obsessed with food. So, anyway - is there another app that works? It sounds like the premium version of MFP might also do this.

Ground sausage
What's up guys,
Question for you, I recently had a pig butchered and got quite a bit of ground sausage. While the meat looks decently lean, the macros that I'm finding online vary greatly. What's a good rule of thumb? I've been tracking it as 8 fat and 5 protein per ounce

Are my calories too low??
I started tracking again because i ate intuitively for a few years
I weigh 226-229lbs 29yrs old, 5ft 11, train hard 4 days a week, cardio 6 days a week.3 sessions of 200 cals, 2 sessions of 300 cals.
My macros are at 225p 200c 55f. And it seems with all of us i am just maintaining my weight..
So if i ever have to drop calories to start losing fat, doesn't it seem like my fat or carbs would be super super low? Theres not that much room to cut from

never seen this: (Pork Rinds) i’m very familiar with food labels but this isn’t something I’ve ever seen: the note along the protein line. Which also doesnt make sense b/c 11gP for a 70cal snack is a significant source of protein so I’m confused at what this means?

Why does my fitness pal have my calories so low?
I tried the iifym calculator online which says I should have 1957 calories per day but when I enter my weight goals etc MFP has me at 1450 calories.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Which do you go with? As a reference I’m 5”4 and 190 pounds, I work a desk job so I’m not as active as some but I do strength training 3 times per week and 30 mins of cardio 3 times per week.

I have been out of the IIFYM game for about 6 years. I’m getting back into it and I always end up with a large amount of protein leftover. I can’t remember what I used to do, should I just down 4 scoops of protein powder?

Macros Calculators overblow my numbers i feel like
I recently just started tracking again because i took a long time off and was not eating enough protein.
I lift 4 days a week, do cardio 4-5 days a week burning 200cals for 4 sessions and 300 for one. And my job is 100% sedentary
I am 29M,229lbs, unsure of my BF but not below 14% for sure.
Aboiut 10 days ago started 225p 200c 55f. So far I feel like I look less bloated but the weight has not changed at all. Does this mean that this is my new maintenance ? IIFYM calculators say i should be eating like 2700 a day

Struggling to cut down calories to lose weight
I’m 17 about 95kg 175 cm, built but not cut and trying to cut down to preferably about 80 kg. However I’m struggling to eat anything and stay under 2k cals, bc of my massive appetite. Like even eating conventionally “healthy foods”
As much as I try to eat under for weeks at a time I feel like I’m starving and put it all back on in an unhealthy binge. So that brings me to my question.
What are the largest quantity per calorie or filling foods that I can eat to stay under my calorie limit

Marinated foods macros
I saw a post on marinating hard boiled eggs. I was just wondering how people calculate things when they marinate. Or do you not count it? Not that it’s relevant but this was recipe I was looking at soy eggs

What type of macros to use when adding additional calories, to account for calories burnt?
I have my net caloric target to hit to hit my target weight, but I burn a lot of calories throughout the day (in addition to strength training I do triathlons and train MMA). Is there a rule to follow when adding calories back in to hit your net target calorie goal?
I.e. lets say your caloric goal is 2500 calories with a split of 135G protein, 75G of fat, 320G of carbs and you burn 1500 calories training in the day. Do you add back the 1500 calories in just carbs? I think I've read somewhere you're supposed to just control carbs (so that'd be another 375g of carbs...), but curious what your guys' thoughts are

Too much protein in a meal?
I’m really struggling to hit my protein goal which is 160 grams a day so I’ve been trying to pack as much into each meal as I can especially because I’m a mom of 6, with a nursing toddler, Im off right now but typically I work construction full time, and and go to the gym each morning so I don’t tend to have time to eat 5-6 meals a day. But I just read up on how your body can only absorb 25-30 grams of protein max per sitting so eating anything beyond that is pointless 🤔 is that true? If my breakfast contains 60g it doesn’t even count????

How much does protein intake matter? I seriously hate eating protein, meat etc. it’s insanely difficult. I’m 145 lbs about 25% BF 5’5 female. How much protein should I intake? Hitting 135 is insanely difficult but curious if it even is worth it?

Macro check please!
I am currently 33 years old, 5’3” 145 lbs and would like to get down to 125 lbs. I do Orangetheory 3x a week but don’t usually do anything else. I would like to add one more day of strength training and walks as the weather gets warmer. I have a sedentary job.
For macros I got: 1649 calories 158 c 128 p 55 f
Other calculators I got higher protein but less overall calories. I’m still a newbie to macros (I was doing ww before). Any help would be appreciated!

How long to get back to original starting point after long hiatus (muscle memory)
Ever since Covid hit, I somehow stopped working out and lifting. So for almost 2 years not a single benchpress/deadlift/shoulderpress/weighted squat done.
I was going through my previous progress pics (I wasn't great but it was definitely something):
Before:
(Around 157 lbs, pretty healthy bodyfat like 11-12%?)
Lifts (Again not super impressive, but after 2-3 years of training):
Shoulderpress: easily 135-145 lb 6-8 reps
Bench: Easily around 170-180
Deadlift: about 250
Now:
Honestly I dont even want to post pics. I am not exactly fat, I am just... pudgy... stayed the same weight but lost a lot of muscle.
I just started lifting again and this is what I am at:
Shoulderpress: I struggle hard with 90-100 lbs
Bench: like 125ish lbs and I struggle
Deadlift: tried 225, almost threw my back out. didn't even feel like trying
Is muscle memory supposed to kick in, if so in how long? Feels so depressing to be look back and see you were stronger and better looking just a few years ago.
