HOW TO COUNT MACROS (And Figure Out Yours!)

[@dormammu217]

Just sat threw this and calculated EVERYTHING for myself. So happy to finally be able to understand macros EASILY !! Down to 235 from 315 in 2023 Heading for a 180 goal. Progress not perfection

[@scottcordaro-fn1uw]

I lost 50 pounds by subtracting 500 a day, this method absolutely works and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed at all. This is definitely the easiest and least restrictive way to lose.

[@79improve]

Did your weight loss ever stall with your original macros?

[@Meme_andkids]

I bought the cookbook for my son as a birthday gift. He made the pizza and a sandwich and the pudding dessert! Needless to say, I'm gonna join him on this weight loss journey! And I am 70 years young! 😊

[@rickrdz276]

7 years ago I stubbed across your first video about tracking macros and I stayed up till like 4am just watching your videos trying to learn as much as I could. I ended up losing about 110lbs from 350 down to 235-245. I appreciate all the knowledge. Right now I’m back up at 280 but still trying to never go over 300 again. Been here since way before THE BEAR! 😂

[@davidbriseno910]

I'll make this even easier for you all...Stay within your calories whether you are on bulk/cut/maint. and make sure that protein goal is hit. The carbs and fat don't even matter, unless you feel a certain way when you have too much fat or carbs or something. Hit that protein goal and cal goal, most important.

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

WOW!!! This a "light bulb" moment video. I've never understood this whole "macro's" thing. And now I do. Thanks Bro.

[@tjweddington2311]

I’ve been eating nothing but your recipes and Anabars while I’m stuck in bed for 8 weeks. It drives me crazy not being active but at least I know I’m doing something right thanks to your recipes.

[@christ15857]

Started at 204.5 and now at 178.2, top 2 abs showing. About 10 more lbs to lose in the belly/love handle area and ill be looking shredded. Thanks for putting out this content and cookbook Rem! Glad you made it through the hurricane in good shape!

[@curtisjarrell6725]

Unfortunately this was filmed before the hurricane

[@niktwentytwo22]

This was perfect - an excellent breakdown! I always struggle with knowing how long to stay in a bulk.

[@amigopuerco]

This video told me i need to be eating alot more to lose weight 🤯. Ive had days where i went over what i had in My Fitness Pal and was worried i wasnt in a defecit but apparently i was still way under. The math says i can loose weight with 3k cals and im floating around 2k a day. Crazy

[@jagsterr1]

Excellent walk through on macro - much appreciated.

[@italiangaljojo89]

I love your vids so much!!! I already lost 10lbs in a month! My calories to lose weight is around 1700...could you do some vids for us girlies that are lower in cals?! Thanks so much!!!

Thank you for explaining and simplifying macros.

Happy birthday 🎉 Thank you, this is what I needed. Now I just gotta do it!

[@CockyGaming]

Quick question as I’ve heard different thoughts from different people. Should the protein macro target my current weight or goal weight? For instance, I I were 185 but wanted to get to 165 would I try to set it for the 185 or the 165? Appreciate the advice

[@GabrielV-AZ]

Happy Birthday Brother 🔥🔥🔥

[@PolarBearXx]

Would u ever do plant based meal preps

[@LouieThe8th]

Happy early birthday!! Thanks for the great informative video. It really helps to see it broken down like this. Which category do you use if you're trying to lose fat and gain muscle?

[@George-hl2xm]

Your body can only use so much protein 50% to 55% carbs is optimal

[@cmike5572]

Dont think of yourself as being in a caloric deficit. Think of it as: What is the macro split you can stick with for life and lose a bunch of weight in the beginning and then maintain for long term without changing it.

[@alanburke89pump]

And great video and over the years 😀😃😄😁

[@kbflipps]

Rem!! Great Video, thanks for the help! Do I need to adjust my daily calories and macros as my weight drops ?

Will you be bringing back your cinnamon toast crunch protein powder? I loved that powder and it worked great in a lot of recipes.

[@idklopner]

Hey RJ, your protein bars are literally the best protein bars. ???? When will the peanut butter and jelly & the berry crunch be available on Amazon or the anabar website for purchase. I can’t find either one to purchase a book as individuals on various websites

[@isidrosalinas4160]

What about the “Add exercise” tab are we supposed to log that in too?

[@svensshed1564]

I am carb intolerant (apparently) and have now moved to a lower carb eating pattern, but I cant cut them out altogether like on Keto or the like. So I am on 45% Protein 30%Fat and 25% Carbs and now I notice if I put too many carbs in my meal when out (hello sourdough rolls) I get really tired and feel horrible. Amazing what your body starts to adapt to over a little time.

[@AbcdEfg-zx5hm]

Intro skipped, just skip to 1:04

[@patrickkelley7480]

How often do you change your macro numbers as your loosing weight.

[@curtisjarrell6725]

I've always heard you should use your lean BMI to calculate maintenance calories not current weight (your overweight weight)?

[@dustincross7423]

I’ve lost my link to the cookbook. Is there a way to recover it?

How do you stop water weight gain?

[@ayoissac]

Stop drinking water lol

[@hunterswrath5446]

There's my brother!

[@broncobuddha]

I'm going to have to try something different I guess. I've been tracking for a couple of years now and lately I've been gaining and losing the same 10lbs. I'm 6'2", 259lbs and about to turn 52 next week. I will admit I may not get everything tracked correctly, but I've been aiming for 180g of protein and around 2000 cals a day. I weight train 3-4 times a week and would say I average 5-6k steps a day or 30min or more on a stationary bike. I know that needs to be more like 10k or 60min. According to this vid a 500cal deficit would be almost 3400 cals? Should I maybe do the first calc off of my goal weight of 200 maybe?

[@ghostdagr8_1]

Should I calculate my macros by my target weight goal and not how much I’m weighing right now?

[@davidbriseno910]

You want to use your current weight. Do not use your target goal weight.

[@vG_Mikes_Amazin]

I would assume the protein goal of 1 gram of protein/pound wouldnt apply for a big guy like me @ 330lbs cutting. Maybe half that?

[@scottcody6251]

My starting weight is 317. Multiply that by 15 and my calories are at 4755. I know I need to reduce them by more than just 500. Do I just adjust them and see how it feels after a week? Or is there a specific way to adjust to lose the weight? My final goal would be around 180-190 which is an intake of 2850 calories. Is that where I start? That seems like I would lose a lot of weight quickly which is good but I worry about losing it too fast.

[@davidbriseno910]

Use TDEE calculator to calculate your cals. At 300lb you can easily cut out more than 500 calories, I assume you are not pure muscle and prob overweight (not trying to be mean)? If you have a lot of fat, your body will deff be fine cutting more than 500 cals

[@joelbreezy3116]

In the mu fitness app....it doesnt allow me to key in my exact protein goal....i have the free verison...do i need the paid version to do it ?

[@dylanhawks763]

Yes

[@justintaylor7422]

So my body fat is 38% and my weight is 255. Do I really need 255 grams of protein? You said something about it being different if you BF% was 40.

[@rockytopguy]

42 yoa, So I weigh 280. I workout 4-5 days a week. This method says I can have 3700 calories in a day. 81g of fat, 537g of carbs, and I just did 200g of protein. Hard to get 200g down as it is! Am I seeing this right? Seems like an awful lot.

dont worry about body fat %

[@bxbriant01]

@@davidbriseno910 then how did he use 15 to multiply into his body weight to configure calorie intake

[@davidbriseno910]

@@bxbriant01 dO NOT MAKE THIS COMPLICAYED! You can easily use TDEE calculator and you are set. Do not worry about body fat%, if you are looking to lose weight then you need to be in a calorie deficit.

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

Im overweight at 219. No fucking way I'm going to lose a lb a week by cutting 500

[@H00v3r]

So obviously you have never done it, don't understand it and you have a losing attitude. I remeber being where you are

[@christ15857]

I was 204.5 after Valentines Day. Since then and finding this channel, I'm down to 178.2. Lost alot of fat and gained quite a bit of lean muscle. I've done most of it sitting on the couch and being lightly active, mainly at work. Give it a try!

[@davidbriseno910]

Lol, yes you will. In fact since you are overweight you may lose over a lb easily.

[@ronburgandy7571]

When you cut 500 calories away from your current 7,000 calories then you most certainly will lost weight.
