My macros today :

Fat 102.28g

Carbs 37.69g

Fibre 8.3g

Prot 204.08g

Cals 1925

Loving the fact that I managed to keep carbs low and got really good amounts of fat and protein yet I'm still at 74% of my RDI for today :)

My gym session today was impressive. The heavier weights I use in my last 2 sets of each exercise seemed lighter and I was able to do more reps with them. It seems that the creatine supplementation is starting to show results.

I struggle with my Macros it is really hard for me to get them right. My fat should be 37g, Carbs 120g and protein 130g I manage on most days to get the Carbs and Fat right but even with protein shakes I never seem to his the protein mark.

Yolanda Henning which protein shakes do you have? I use Pro Nutrition Whey Fusion which gives me 32g Protein, 3g Carbs and 2g Fat per serving. If you have 2 of those a day(morning and evening) you would get 64g Protein which is 2g short of half of what your Protein macro is. The rest can come from good servings of chicken, meat, fish, etc. It all comes down to your choices and quantities in food. I usually snack on biltong and peanuts. 50g of peanuts will give you 13g of protein. I had a look at your food diary. The FatSecret food item for "Chicken Curry" is incorrect as it gives only 11.47 protein for 100g of chicken curry. Rather use chicken breast(cooked, roasted) as the food item.

Hi it is the chicken breast that I used in the curry. It is hard to eat correctly I see biltong is the way to go as little fat no carbs and loads of protein. I use the USN sts muscle one as I was recommended it by a friend. I will keep trying to get it right the problem is that I only try to eat 1350 calories. I will check out the Pro Nutrition Whey fusion as the carbs is nice and low on that protein shake the USN one is little high on carbs

O I think someone else has entered the macro nutrients on the chicken curry as I just used what was already stored in the fat secret data base.

I also made that mistake when I used lamb curry and chicken curry so now I just use cooked beef steak for mutton curry and chicken breast(cooked, roasted) to get it as close as possible to correct.
