New Macros -- Actifit Report Card: January 9, 2025

in Actifit19 hours ago

Another school day, another solid step count well over 10K. But the 75 Hard challenge is getting away from me. I woke up and successfully stashed my FitBit in my sock to be able to track those steps on the treadmill in the morning. Again, I used that time to jam some last-minute Splinterlands tournaments while I was walking in place.

The school day was mostly uneventful, and I got home around 4.15pm since I don't have an after-school club on Thursdays. I did have an appointment with a licensed nutritionist through my health insurance, and we talked over some of my diet and fitness goals.

I shared that I wanted to shed some weight, so I was planning to eat at a calorie deficit with a protein-heavy diet. 1700 calories with 150g of protein and carbs. She was not a fan of these ratios! Without consistent heavy weight training, she said I was eating way too much protein and too few carbs. When we were done talking, I resettled on a plan for 1750 calories and a split around 110g protein, 220g carbs, and 50g fat. I can work with this!

Ultimately, it was a helpful conversation with her to put some of my goals in a better (and healthier) perspective. I'm excited to continue tracking my calories while maintaining a more active lifestyle. Call it the reverse hibernation. I'm ready to start the spring actiFIT! Until next time...

If I were to use those macros, I would gain so much weight with that many carbs. My life is to sedentary for that much. I limit my carbs to 40g!

Oh my goodness, 40g carbs a day?! My nutritionist told me I should have between 45 - 65% of my daily calorie intake in carbs. I thought she was a bit off her rocker. I settled on 50% of 1750.
