daily macro-nutrient breakdown

[syntekz]

I found a nutritonal calculator online and it gave me this feedback:

Daily Nutritional Breakdown
Body weight - 170 pounds


Calories: 2550
Protein: 325.12 grams
Carbs: 229.5 grams
Fat: 36.83 grams

It said this would help build lean muscle mass without the extra fat. Sound about right?

[heathj]

The fat is too low.

Did you go to the AST nutr. calculator?

[hemants]

There is no magical number that works for everyone.

Off hand if building is the goal I would up the carbs and fat a bit.

[Cackerot69]

Yeah that's AST's ratio's. It works good, but even I think fat is low on that. The main reason behind them using those ratio's is to sell you their protein supplements, though...

[syntekz]

Ya it is AST.

Fat does look a little low. I thought I've always needed around 60-80 grams/day.

Now I just need to make a diet and stick to it. The hardest part.

[Jane]

Where is this AST? And what is it, exactly? A place to trust?

[Cackerot69]

It's a supp company.

Not really.
