I need to get back to my diet regimen. That involves eating macro
nutrients in specific ratio. I have a body fat of 29% and that's high.
I need to reduce that to below 22%. I really like how my muscle mass
"look" now. The problem is that most of that muscle mass is really fat.
The real danger in having a high body fat number is the location where
my body stores it. A male body usually stores all that fat around the
mid torso or the belly. A lot of studies suggest that accumulation of
fatty tissue very near the vital organs isn't healthy at all.
So regarding my macronutrients or macros, I have calculated that a
daily calorie intake of 1,800 - 1,900 should be the norm. I exercise
daily and burn about 600-700 calories per session. My macros are:
25% Protein 112 grams - 118 grams daily
70% Fats 140 grams - 147 grams daily
5% Carbohydrates 20 grams - 23 grams daily
A ratio of 5-25-70 should move my body to use my fat stores instead of
sugar.
A typical meal would be 2-3 large egg/hardboiled/fried, 3 oz of tuna,
80 grams of ground pork/beef and 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive
oil. Add green leafy vegetables, flaxseeds and avocados.
