How your macros are split
Protein comes first, because it protects and builds muscle: 2.2 g per kg of bodyweight when losing fat, 1.8 g per kg to maintain or gain.
Fat is set at 25% of calories, never below 0.8 g per kg. The remaining calories go to carbohydrates, your main training fuel. Protein and carbs provide 4 kcal per gram; fat, 9 kcal.
FAQ
How much protein do I need a day?
If you strength train, 1.6 to 2.2 g per kg of bodyweight. For someone weighing 75 kg, that's 120 to 165 g a day.
Do carbs make you gain weight?
Not on their own. Weight change comes down to calorie balance. Carbs are the main fuel for hard training.
