I totally forgot how this game works and I love it!!

I took a few weeks to drop some fat and went on a low calorie/lower carb diet. I'm at about 2250 calories again (increasing by 50 cals a week) and have been moderate on my carbs, but now I've taken the jump to put them up over 200g again...

The pancakes for dinner that I thought would cling to all the water I drank... nope. Nada. And I've fallen in love with chocolate milk! I've replaced my old staple of whole milk with 1% chocolate milk for the carbs without the fat 👍.

I'd forgotten that carbs burn off faster than other macros 🤘. Already gone!

Anyhow. All this to say that I LOVE CARBS!! So much energy again!! 😁

You have more protein than I do. I only get 120-150.

Isn't there some studies that show experienced lifters/athletes need much less protein than originally thought because their bodies use it much more efficiently? People newer etc require more?

I'm not sure but could be legit.

IDK but when I did my 10 months of junk food I only averaged ~90 grams per day and kept all of my muscle going by the mirror and my lifts. You could be on to something, lol!

Another 6 months I'm aiming for the white boy natty version of the rock to make you both look like children 😛

Natty and The Rock is an oxy-moron. Good luck with your goals though!

I think the recommendation for regular folks is .8-1 gram per every one pound u weigh. I’m 117 lbs I try to eat 100 grams of protein each day

Oxy moron or not I can still dream big.

protein is the easiest macro to hit, chris what you on about mate? you Trump everyone on here except Diablo bro

Idk what the average is but that sounds good to me!

I think you're on the optimal track, you now just need the experience. I don't think for example that I would have the mind-muscle connection or ability to push myself near as hard in the first 3 years of lifting. It will come with time.

I guess that is another reason I love dumbbells, even if you fail, you can just gently drop them to the side. I usually know when I am near failure, it isn't necessary to get to failure.
