Hi everyone. I had my Dexascan done today which made me to post this question. Here is where I stand:
Total body weight: 158 lbs
Lean mass: 106 lbs
Fat Percentage: 30%
RMR: 1411 cals (based on Mifflin-St Jeor equation; not CO2 test)
And, here is what I am targeting for:
Total body weight: 160 lbs
Lean mass: 115 lbs (+9 lb to gain)
Fat Percentage: 25% (-7 lb to lose)
I believe this is a realistic target to achieve in 6-8 weeks for me and I am targeting for 1500 calories where the ratio will be
F - 35% (60 gm - 540 cals)
P - 30% (115 gm - 460 cals)
C - 35% (128 gm -512 cals)
The reasoning behind these numbers I arrived:
Fat - 0.37 gm per lb of total body weight = 158 x .37 = 58 gm
Protein - 1.1 gm per lb of targeted lean mass = 115 x 1.1 = 126.5 gm
Carb - Remaining calories
Fat macro percentage is on the upper side of the recommended 20- 35% of the total calories. My question, will this do any better for my aforementioned goals? Any comment is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!
