If I am about 17% body fat and roughly 5'9, my LBM is about 120 pounds. I have been eating about 80grams of protein and 120grams of fat totaling to roughly 1500 calories. I am just living off of bacon, eggs, coconut oil, hwc, mct oil and almonds. Are my macro's ok? My goal is to cut fat. I work out 5-6 times and lift heavy. I used to be an avid runner and would only consume 1000 calories a day. Since starting carbnite in May, I have gained 10 pounds and have seen some results in body composition. I just want to lose the 10 pounds I have gained and wanted to know is it possible to gain about 10 pounds in muscle in 4 months or have I gained fat?
If you've just started weight training, coming from running, you likely gained some muscle, plus water, and likely some fat coming off of a starvation level diet. Anyway, your macros look fine.
What does "too much bacon" mean? I'm not following... 😮 🙂
I'm glad you said that because I refrained. I don't think there is such a thing...

LOL I was holding back too, as a serious conversation was going on ;DBut yes, the glorious gift of the pig should never be refused 😉
Sorry!! I forgot to put it in, but all i eat is bacon. That is my main source of protein. I may have a few eggs occasionally but I eat 8-12 strips of bacon a day. Is that too much?

If you're trying to use bacon as your main source of PROTEIN, then there is probably an issue. You need more diversity and more protein rich foods. There's barely any protein in standard bacon.

Uh, I might be very wrong here but at 5'9", 120 pounds (and you've just PUT ON 10 pounds) and 17% body fat (so lean mass is like 100 pounds) I would say "DUDE, you need to eat MORE (and lift hard).I'm kinda old, do people still say Dude?

In this instance, you're completely justified. Carry on. 8)
Center Cut Bacon has high protein than fat. Normal Bacon has higher fat than protein. But Center Cut Bacon just....isnt....bacon.... :-

No such thing as too much bacon lol. It's up to you really. If you're not getting fat you're ok. personally I have about three rashers of bacon with three or four eggs as my first meal of the day after the AM shake.
