That's actually close to what i had set on myfitness pal from like 3 years ago

just the carbs was pretty high

going to start with a base line of 30% carbs, 25% fat and 45% protein with 2341 cals a day for maintenance weight.

been tracking every day but on Saturdays the last couple weeks

still not hitting the 175g of protein for my body weight

so i started adding an extra protein shake in the morning with breakfast

my break down is 30% carbs, 30% fat 40% protein

my fat #s have been during all this have actually been more than 30% usually around 40%, making up the short comings in protein

but ive been killing my workouts

For performance im going to go with RP and model something similar. You'll want to set up 5-6 meals with 35-40g protein each, 25% of your carbs with your preworkout meal, 15% as intra workout carbs, 35% post workout, then spread the rest out over the day, tapering them off at the day goes on. Keep fats 30% or lower of intake.

2300 cals
180g protein
76g fat
204g carb


Morning training:
Pre workout protein whey - 15g protein
Intra without carbs - 30g carbs
Post workout meal #1 - 15g protein, 71g carb, 5g fat
Meal #2 - 30g protein, 40g carb, 15g fat
Meal #3 - 30g protein, 30g carb, 15g fat
Meal #4 - 30g protein, 20g carb, 15g fat
Meal #5 - 30g protein, 10g carb, 15g fat
Meal #6 - 30g protein (recommend casein at night), 0g carb, 10g fat

If you prefer to train fasted just eliminate the pre workout shake and eat 30g protein at post workout meal. The numbers don't quite add up in this example but you get the idea.


Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in performance nutrition but I know my workouts felt fantastic while doing RP.

No, I started RP like a week after having my kid and about 5 weeks in i was overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. My workouts felt fantastic for those 5 weeks though, even though i wasn't sleeping much.


Considering trying it again, they have an app now that helps you for only $15/mo

You recommend 50% protein, 25% carbs, and 25% fats?

Also, for strictly fat loss and preserving muscle mass, would you suggest the standard or still stick to the leangains?

For fatloss I 100% like the leangains macros of -500 Cal's overall and minimum 50% protien. The way the rest for the Cal's are distrubuted don't matter a ton but if you wanted your best results, 35% carbs on workout days and 15% fat. On non workout days hold carbs to 100g or less. But that is over complicating things.

I also really like RP and their templates.

I’d like to get in a bigger deficit than 500 calories. Right now I’m at 2600 or so and think I can do less to accelerate fat loss.

I would like to try this
Is the app like avatar, or do you have to order the templates and then subscribe to the app?

App is like Avatar but they only have RP template foods I think. So it's a lot more restrictive.

I get my macros from avatar then track through MFP anyway

do you know if that would work for RP, would they give them to me and I can just track in MFP?

I figured out the templates pretty good, so what else would the app offer.

Just how many cals i need to intake. I already need 2,300 for performance so fat loss maybe knock it down 300.

Im not in a rush to cut fast.
