Constructing a Meal Plan Step-1: Calculate Protein Requirements
-
So last video (I date these because they build on each other) we talked about calculating total calories, and as a refresher we went with the ballpark number of target weight x 15.
-
To determine the Macro breakdown, a good place to start is simply 1g per pound (target weight) of protein or 2.2g per kilogram.
-
Both the literature (and personal anecdote) have determined that really anything between 0.7g-3g per pound will do the trick, 2+g per pound really only being marginally better and in my opinion, really only if you’re an outlier or “enhanced.”
-
So, using our previous examples of 200 and 150Lbs respectively, that would be 200 and 150g of protein per day for each of those individuals.
-
That brings us to the next step which is the maths. Remember a few videos back when I said protein is 4Kcal per gram? That means 200g = 800Kcal. That also means that for our 200lb person, of their daily total of 3000Kcal, 800Kcal minimum will be their protein requirement leaving 2200Kcal remaining for fat and carbs.
-
See what we’re doing here? Are we cool yet? 😎
-
Next video we’ll talk about bringing it home calculating fats next (it’s super simple) AND the remainder being the good stuff, your carbs!!
