How to calculate macros Videos

Hi Jeff! I love your videos they are a great insight into fitness and nutrition. But I am a little bit concerned about using the 40 40 20 split because that seems to be a lot of protein for myself and think I could benefit from more fats in my intake. I am aiming towards becoming leaner and stronger than I am currently, though I am already at a really healthy weight and in decent shape. Working on around 50 / 30 / 20 split and would love your advice where to go from here, thanks for any help! x

Great info! OK so my calorie deficit is 2580, I'm 200lb I started eating clean, grass fed, low carbs, I stop eating rice and potatos about 2 years ago. I feel great without them, I workout 20 minutes in the morning, jumping jacks, battle rope and some ski steps, just because I can't run that much cause of my knees, so if the calories that I need to maintein is 2580 so after burning about 350 to 500 calories daily, does that mean I need to cut my my calories another 500 more or what do you recommend? Thanks alot!! 

I think by far the best explanation. I haven't started I'm trying to learn before I jump into it. 

Hi Jeff i wanted some advice. Ive been using the 40 40 20 split for the last 2 months and have seen great results. My bodyfat has been reduced to my leanest ever and i am almost as strong as when i was 20 lbs heavier so i know ive been eating adequately. My question is since i am so close to reaching my goal of being cut or ripped. To push me over the edge would you recommend i stop the 40 40 20 split and use the macros values in your video which seem to be more customized for a persons actual bodyweight and total calories instead at this point. Meanin i am now 150lbs lean so my 40 40 20 split @ 1800 calories per day means P180 C180 and F40, using the method from video would now be 1800 calories a day. P150 C188g F50. Ive seem many people recommend this as a more customized macros plan im just affraid of the lower protein which is 1g per bodyweight vs 40% which is about 1.2g per bodyweight affecting my muscle keepin growth. What are your thoughts. THANKS Cam D from Toronto Canada

I'm 16. 5'3 108lbs. I don't lift weights I only workout 3x a week(I do High impact cardio and also some push ups and those crazy stuff-I do Kayla Itsines's Bikiny Body guide workout which lasts for 30min)on the other days I walk or dance or do yoga for 30min and on Sundays i rest,should I consider all of these workouts as a "3x a week?"or what should I do?? I'd appreciate if you helped me with my macros and daily calorie intake i'm new to IIFYM.my goal is to lose body fat(not weight)and have defined abs(i'm working hard on that)

Jeff whats going on brother ? great video. i followed your steps thru the whole video but had me kind of confused lol. I'm bad at math. and I'm actually trying to lose fat while maintain/build muscle. would you be able to help me if so would email would be ok ? i don't have social media ill appreciate it 

Hello Jeff I hope I've done this correctly. I'm about 5'10 and a half. Body fat percentage 29.3% and I weigh 227.6 lbs . My Maint calories are 2,418 and will be subtracting 500 for weights loss and that will be 1918. I came up with these Macros P: 227, F: 53 and C: 227.

Im 190 lbs trying to go down to 175 . How do you know how much calories 190 grams are for example?

Do you think .35g of fat per lb of bodyweight for fats is a bit high? That's like a high fat percentage for calories. Unless you think that fat and protein are more anabolic?

Yo man, just found you on youtube. You definitely know your stuff and seem like a cool guy. Keep up the videos!!!

Really informative video thank you

Wow best video ive seen relating to cutting macros easy simple right to the point. Thanks man i appreciate this

I'm unclear on the body weight basis for calculations. So when allocating cutting calories into the three macros - for example 1g of pro per lb - do you mean the pounds of my 'current' weight (extra fat and all) or my 'desired' weight ...or some other amount? Thanks

Great video!!!

Hi! Do you work with 3DMJ?

Love your energy in front of the camera! And you are so pretty :) I love IIFYM and I used that same calculator. Keep up the great work!

You're adorable. I actually look forward to all your videos now haha your personality fits so well on YouTube! Keep doin' you

Good video. "diet on as many calories as you can" *slow clap*. Also, a shameless plug but I just helped design a website www.avatarnutrition.com that formulates starting macros but then adjusts them as you progress based on different inputs. Basically I tried to condense my coaching into an automated form that people could take advantage of. It is $9.99 per month so not free, but I feel it's a good value for people who want science based macro recommendations & adjustments.

You are seriously so pretty

i saw that man. and you just replied "Thank you". let the fuckin fangirl come out man lol

Why you so cute? Good info, hun.

Hello, I am quite confused, I'm getting a bachelors of sport science, I'm taking the nutrition class right now, according to my book and the research my professors make us do, it says that it is 0.8 to 2.0grams per kilograms of body weight. Why a lot of people says grams per pound of body weight?!? I can't find no official answer about.

Best video ever, so easy to understand! This is how I'm going to calculate my macro's from now on :) Thanks a lot Brendan! One little question: after losing weight when should I adjust my calorie intake? Once a month or more often?

Great video, so easy to understand :) THANKSSSS

My favorite part, "just roll with this shit man" cracked up a lot!

I am currently underweight, 45kg (99 pounds) at 164cm (5ft 5)... doing the calculation on maintenance, that said my maintenance should be 1500ish, but I roughly maintain on 2000 calories a day? My aim is to build strength not to lose tho, by the way :)

Very informative and helpful! Thank you so much for this

are you eating 20g +81.6g +98g= 199.6g of food per day??? that is one bite for me lol :)

Great help! Do you adjust as you loose weight and how?

Thank you! This was really helpful!

What man needs to lose weight at 180 pounds?

is it normal that my total calories to cut down to is really low like 1106.5?

If he is eating 213 grams of carbohydrates won't that put fat on him instead of losing it?? Plz answer.

Thank you this made a lot of things muuucchh easier! You seem very intelligent:)
