Macros Revisited

So, I've decided to get more specific with my macros. Using the IIFYM calculator, I've calculated my macros to cater to a ketogenic nutrition plan as it was the closest I could get to the 30g of carbs prescribed for low carb days.


The carbs come out to 19.8/20g which is what I have been hitting so far for with my 30g upper level limit on carbs. My protein should be at 118.8/119g and my fat should be at 114.4/115g - this was what I was mainly concerned on addressing, as I was sure that I wanted my protein to be higher than my fat but wasn't exactly sure how that should translate/how much higher etc. So now that I'm in the know, I can proceed with a little more wisdom to practice.

Fibre is also calculated: 31-39g. I plan on taking psyllium husks fibre supplement as it is difficult getting enough fibre on a low carb diet.
