Good morning! I’m slacking hard on my studying today.

Carbs = 1292 45%
Protein = 860 30%
Fat = 720 25%

Total = 2872

I don’t have much input on this but I like seeing what macros people do and how it works out for them. Your protein intake -is- high, it’s well above 2.2g/kg for muscle building, definitely not double, but since you’re very active and need extra calories protein seems like a good source. More green leafys like hilter suggested wouldn’t hurt, but they severely lack calories. Anyways, I want to get back into nutrition, so ty for the numbers to play around with!

This may or may not be helpful. The estimated calorie requirements seem awfully high.

Have a great day, Jeff!
