From Rebecca at Atkns forum
she calculatd for me:
Quote:
1770 calories
117g fat (60%)
130g protein
50g total carbs
25g fiber
25g net carbs
Calculating protein carbs and fat requirements
goal weight 150 lb ideal
p needs .7 x 150 =105 +
20 net carbs
25 fiber
recommended protein from chart
5’8” 80-166 as I am usually more sedentary the lower range to start
=195 grams @ 4 calories
= 780 calories
RDI says 1500 calories which must be incorrect
as that only leaves 700/9 = 77.7 g fat at approx 48% and should be 60- 70 % need to up fat by 12-22 % or 84-168 calories?
105 g fat = 950 cals plus 780 cals from protein/carbs
= 1730 calories.
ok we will go with this for a bit.
