I am crunching numbers here, and i have a question about the balanced diet (40/30/30)
Now if someone weighs 198 lbs. then the BMR is roughly 2300-2400 cals a day.
Now erring on the lower end, that breaks down to 230 gms of carbs per day, 175 gms of pro. a day and 80 gms of fat a day ( all rough numbers).
Now if i set up my diet around my post workout meals ( 2 of them, bothe containing 50 gms of carbs and 40 gms of pro. 0 gms fat) I am left with 130 gms of carbs, 100 gms of pro. and 80 gms of fat.
When i split up the remaining nutrients i am left with 4 meals that contain 30 gms of carbs, 25 gms of pro. and 20 gms of fat.
To any of you out there, is it okay to have meals with that kind of breakdown as long as TOTALS for the day add up to 40/30/30?
