Hey everyone,
So I've recently upped my total caloric intake up around 1000-1500 calories. I am a male, 6'1, 175 lbs, pretty lean and need to increase my energy intake. I have low thyroid and am overcoming some gut issues, so I cannot consume starches, gluten, PUFA's of any kind, or other foods antithetical to the Peat ideology.
Prior to this, I was eating as little fat as possible and eating carbs at a 3:1 ratio with protein.
Now, I'll soon be aiming for 3500 calories daily, and I want to ensure that I'm as optimal with this number as possible. With that being said, what should my ideal macronutrient intake be per day?
There are a lot of different opinions on this subject in the community. Personally, I'd like carbohydrates to be at least 50%, and to consume more protein than fat. I wouldn't be against having fat and protein be equal though. So going off of those recommendations, my macros would look something like...
437.5g carbohydrates / 1750 calories
97.222 g fats / 875 calories
218.75g protein / 875 calories
Do these look like solid, peaty ratios? I am open to opinions and, in this case, conjecture. I want to feel more confident about the numbers so that my diet is more intentional and deliberate.
Thank you in advance everyone!
