FT Questions....

[thethinker48]

Hi Scott, first question of many many more to come.

I tried to understand the macros that you put in the book for the fortitude diet. Let me know if i understand well. First you want to have at least a gram of protein x lbs or 15% of total calories. For carbs you emphasize them intra and post workout as much a 1-2g x kg for each 3 meals post workout and as much calories as 50% of the day. So if i'm training around 4h30 pm that would be 6:00, 8h30 and 10pm for the last carb meal.

What about the amount of fat in the day? what is the % of calories coming from fat? Do i have to substract the calories of protein and carbs to find it??

Please help

Scott laid out these guidelines as something you experiment with in order to figure out what would work effectively for you. All of this would be so much easier if we were all built/responded to this stuff the same way, but we aren't. Your genetics, your lifestyle, and your experience will determine what suits you, and only trial and error will get you there.

For example, for myself I consume 100 grams of carbs pre workout because I don't like training depleted, and these pump sets kill me with no carbs. I also like to consume 120-150 grams post workout maximum otherwise I look like a pregnant turtle. The rest of the carbs come smaller amounts 60-80 in the next 2 meals.

This is what works for MY body.

The fats on training days should be low, how low? Again you'll have to play around with these variables to find out. I have them higher in the morning, and pretty much non-existent in the evening when I train.

Just my 2 cents.
