LOL @ your trainer.. am still not getting that building walking lunges.

Are you sure about this?

said I was to stick my protein at around 110g a day and keep fat around 50g.
Just did a quick calculation. You said to do something like 40-40-20 for CPF and tht gets me to 180 g of protein.
I'm aiming for 110g of protein on my LOW cal days of like 1200 kcal (about 35% for P) but try to get in a whopping 170-180g of protein on my HIGH kcal (training)days of 2400 kcal , sometimes even hitting 200g (approx. 30% for P on that day)
So this 110g P of yours must have been a typo.

50g of fat is also a very good minimum fat intake.. they often advise to eat a minimum of
1g P/lbs (or 2-2.2g/kg) of LBM (BW would be my preference)
0.5g F/lbs (or 1-1.1g/kg) of LBM (again BW would be my preference)
and letting carbs fall into a range YOU like and need according to the activity levels you have..
