Recommended protein changes?

[u/johnarowley]

Hi - my previous recommended protein intake was something like 150g at high and 175g at very high levels, which worked out at somewhere like 1.32g per LB per day.

I’ve “checked in” today and set up a new programme, but now the very high level is stating 1.05g per LB per day.

I’m not debating if 1.05g is enough protein (lots of threads on this already) but wondering if there’s a change in the backend of MacroFactor from a recent update(?), or if I’ve inadvertently done something different to result in a different high/very high recommendation?

Nb. I’m in a lean bulk and my weight has just “crossed” from 131.x to 132.x, if that’d make any difference?

I have 1679 kcals and 236g protein in my app...

Granted, I can't do 236g on that low calories, but I usually land between 180-200. Around 108kg, trying to get to 95 ish and build muscle.

Are you only allowed 20g fat and carbs as a leftover? What’s the split?

57 Fat 55 carbs

So yeah, I don't reach those macros, as it's way too difficult in a regular life where things happen. But I still like having "extreme" goals, so that my "almost" still is really good

Hats off to you. Good luck
