Trying to figure out your carnivore diet macros can seem like Tetris!
Y’all have to experiment to find your puzzle pieces as far as foods, macro ratios, & what shade of the carnivore diet is your preference. Enjoy this list of my favorite foods + Macros!
Getting it “right” can mean the difference between feeling great or feeling more like a dumpster fire 🔥
Know this will take tweaking but I want to make this simple for you when you’re first starting out. All of your goals, histories, training modalities, metabolic abilities, etc will be different from your neighbor. This is just a general base.
➡️The most important thing you’ll need to know is how many calories your body currently needs to function its best & maintain your weight. This is typically referred to as your maintenance Calories. I will create a future post & expand on this.
You’ll need to consider sex, age, height, weight, & activity level. MORE goes into this but I do not have enough room to write a novel! 😂
➡️Set protein 1g/lb of lean body mass or desired weight.
➡️Set fat the same, 1g/lb of lean body mass or desired weight.
➡️Carbs will vary. Like I said, there are 50 shades of the carnivore diet. Some people include non-starchy veggies, some include non-benign carbs like white rice on occasion. Go your own way.
➡️If you like or need your fat higher, or you need higher calories, by all means increase your fats. Some prefer higher protein, you can do the same here, but beware, you can get your protein too high & it can cause issues.
Not everyone needs to track macros but it will be extremely helpful to make more educated decisions on where to make adjustments.
Happy calculating guys!
