Dieting for Dummies
If you are reading this, you are not a dummy. You’ve just found a dummy’s hand book for weight loss. I only have a few hundred words to lay it out so, here come the broad strokes.
Take your desired weight. Example is 150 pounds multiply by 10 to 12 for daily calories based on desired aggressiveness and discipline. Now, because we’re short on words, I cannot fully get into goal setting. Keep in mind that you may have conditions outside of the norm such as diabetes, thyroid issues or even the wrong goals. I am not a nutritionist, I am just a trainer who has helped hundreds lose weight, get in shape and stay in shape. This plan is calories divided by 35 percent protein, 30 percent good fats and 35 percent Carbohydrates.
Our example: 150lbs×11=1650cal
Nutrient values:(g)protein=4cal, (g)fat=9cal, (g)carbs=9cal. Make your fat 30 percent (55g) of your calories and make your proteins 35 percent (144g) and carbs 35 percent (144g).
Bam, math is fun! If you need help equating your macronutrient breakdown for desired weight or you goals other than just weight loss, feel free to call or text me, Jim at 661-714-8149 and follow IgnitionFitness on FB and IgnitionFit on Instagram. Until then, have a grateful and happy day!
