This might be my dumbest question yet but...
1)How do I figure out my Protein Carb and Fat percentages? I know it is recommended to follow the 40/ 30/ 30 plan but I just want to be sure that I am right. I know that these Macros are usually measured in grams so how do I figure out what percentage of my calories are going to each...
2) I am a pretty religious counter and I am hoping to use that to my advantage in the program but in the past I have been swayed in wrong directions by faulty labels (ex: the spray butter snafu that got me thinking I was maintaining on 700 calories a day....not my high point). Because of this I am a little leary in trusting the number of calories in foods and how I prepare them etc. I eat a lot of fish (Talapia) and vegetables ( brocolli, cauliflower, mushrooms etc) that I put in a pan with non- stick spray etc as well as whey protein, yogurt, apples etc. is there any reason why I should feel that I am misjudging my calories or things I should keep in mind. I would like to slowly increase my calories and protein but I am leary that i will unknowingly eat way more than my maintenance #s. any advice is great...Thanks again for the support
