![]() ![]() That being said, I pretty much cut out all refined/ processed foods, and stick to getting my macros through whole, nourishing foods that are minimally processed and as decent quality as is affordable and convenient (sometimes I go to the local farmers market and get grass-fed beef liver and steaks, sometimes I'll get the Wallaby Organic Aussie Yogurt, most of the time I just hit up Wal-Mart for their bulk packs of boneless skinless chicken breast, etc.). LOVE THE PROCESS.įor me personally, being a former Fat Boy, I learned that I have/had an unhealthy relationship with hyperpalatable, hyper-processed foods (check out the books "Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss and "Wired to Eat" by Robb Wolf for more great info on this concept), and when I eat them I lose control and can get a little binge-y (just because it's 1 whole pint of Halo Top and only 320 calories doesn't mean that it's a mentally healthy maneuver to eat that for me). Working hard on your diet to make it optimal and sustainable for you longterm is part of the fun, and part of the process. I think at the end of the day, you have to figure out what works best for you. Even more people are going to weigh in and suggest their own thing. There are TONS of sites that can give you different types of diets based on your macro profile. My question is, now that I know how much of what to eat, how do I know what to eat? Is there like a (free) site where I can enter my macro requirements and get recipes based on the numbers? Or do I just eat whatever looks green and healthy and try to match the calorie and macro needs on myfitnesspal? That macro profile has worked wonders for my dieting. As an aside, I would suggest 1g/lb of Body Weight for Protein, 25-30% of your total calories from fats (fats are good for you, as they help with hormone regulation ), and get the rest from Carbs. It's all up to you, your body's needs, and your goals. Some people eat 250g/day and are still hungry for more, others eat 100g/day and can't put down any more. Usually, 1g/lb BW is suggested as a general rule of thumb. I have a feeling 192g is too much protein for a day. ![]() See the Related Subreddits section for other popular fitness-related subreddits.General Posting Guidelines (click for more info): No Questions Related to Injury, Pain, or Any Medical Topic Progress Posts Must Be Detailed and Useful Posts Must Be Specific to Physical Fitness and Promote Useful Discussion No Threads That Are Answered by the Wiki, Searching Threads, or Google Welcome to r/Fitness!
