Macronutrient Breakdown for Fat Loss
September 26, 2007
Q: Mike, I love you blog - great stuff. I wanted to ask you what macronutrient breakdown do you use for fat loss? Thanks.
Bill W.
A: Bill, thanks. I’m glad that you enjoy the Naked Nutrition Blog. In regards to your question. I like to start people out eating 40/30/30 (carbohydrates, protein, fat) on days that they are lifting weights. The majority of the carbohydrates should come from fruits and vegetables (with the exception of workout and some solid food post workout carbs).
On non-training days. I switch around the carbohydrate and protein intake so the macronutrient breakdown is 30/40/30 (carbohydrates, protein, fat). This is sort of the lazy man’s version of carb cycling.
I outline this procedure in much more detail with examples in Your Naked Nutrition Guide.
