Hi! My brother sent me his daily food log and his protein intake seems crazy high, and I’m worried about his liver. But I’m not a body builder, nor a nutritionist so I’m hoping for some advice from you more experienced individuals.
He’s 6’
Weighs 172 lbs
And according to his scale his body fat percentage is 16.
He said his daily caloric intake is around 2400 and he is exercising daily, but isn’t losing weight. I’m assuming he’s gaining muscle mass which is canceling out the weight loss on the scale, because at that caloric intake I would expect weight loss.
He’s also severely lacking in complex carbs, from my understanding.
His daily intake:
Total Cal: 2346.2
Total Carbs(g): 39.4 (+14 veggie)
Total Protein (g): 257.8
Total Fat(g): 90.9
Total Omega3(g): 9.5
50g of that protein is from pre and post workout shakes. 14g of carbs is from 2 cups of green beans, which are the only veggie he eats during the day. The other carbs are from nuts and seeds. Everything else is animal protein.
His goal is to add muscle mass (not a crazy amount) and lose more body fat.
I think he needs to up his complex carbs, lower his protein, and up his calories.
What say you, oh wise ones?? 😁
