I wanted to get some more exp CNS folks to look at my stats / macros / CN choices please.I am specifically interested in some one taking a look at my last carb nite choices and amount of carbs. Please let me know what could be done better. I lift heavy (deads / squats) 3x per week maybe row 5k or 10k 1x week(Have tendinitis in elbow so taking it easy from xfit for a month untill right before the open)I am Male / 33 / 240ish / 30% bf/Goal weight ~ 195 more concerned about %bf getting to 10%. Ratio - FAT:Protein .8:1Macros - 156g Fat : 195g ProteinCalories - 1404 kCal Fat + 780 kCal Prot = 2184 kCal

Okay, so do you hardcore track or something you're picking up at the moment? I would honestly say to just eat meats and veggies (<—If you wanted, not a main concern), while adding fats (butter, coconut oils, red palm oil, bacon grease, ghee) to any lean cuts of meat and perhaps grilled meats. IF you do want to track, then hitting the amount you have is a GREAT starting point. While it shouldn't be consistent, nor worried about hitting a specific number each day, it is a good starting point.

Thanks Big Tex. I have been keeping exact track (as much as possible) in myfitnesspal. I will make sure not to be to anal about hitting stuff exactly. (Wife gets all over me for that)I was mostly worried about the number of carbs one should take in during the carb nite. The carb nite seems to have gone well. I am up 5lbs since then but its only been 2 days. (at this point im not to worried about that. I have 5 days left to lose those 5lbs and hopefully 2 or 3 more 🙂 )thanks for looking htose over!
