I'll use mine. I should weigh 60kg
To LOSE
60kg x 1 gram protein = 60 gram protein
60kg x 2.5 gram fat = 150 gram fat
60kg x .8 gram carbohydrate = 48 gram carbohydrate.




THANK YOU Lisa and 2bthinner. I was getting stuck on the 'example" too LOL

Doing it this way I certainly come up with different numbers than the Calculus Victus. In there it tells me: 60 protein, 90-120 fat, 30-48 carbs.

using the above ratios in 2bthinner's post I get:

I should weigh 62.27 k (137 pounds)
To LOSE

62.27 x 1 gram protein = 62.27 gram protein (13%)
62.27 x 2.5 gram fat = 155.7 gram fat (75%)
62.27 x .8 gram carbohydrate = 49.81 gram carbohydrate. (11%)

1849 calories


Hmm.. maybe that's why I lost 9 pounds the first week LOL. Seriously, eating 1849 calories a day seems crazy to me. I wonder if the weight will come off at that amount. I've been eating 1200-1300 calories for so many years! I haven't really been watching calories, just that's where my numbers usually fell in fitday end of day.
