The MEAL PLAN! It seems like this topic has been blown so out of
proportion, with so many different “tricks” over the years, that a lot of
us just say “whatever” when it comes to counting their calories and macros.
I have broken down the process of how to figure out your daily protein,
carb & fat intake according to your goals so that, whether you’re a
beginner or an advanced lifter, you can EASILY determine a starting point
of what your macro ratios should be in grams / calories for the day.
It’s the New Year and your meal plan will be the most critical element in
achieving your fitness goals. Be sure to share this video with your
friends as you begin your 2014 fitness journey. Nothing better than
building your meal plan together so that you can share ideas and keep each
other on track!
This video will show you EXACTLY how to calculate your daily macronutrient
intake needs.
For more information on how to calculate your macronutrient (protein, carb,
fat) intake or to have a printable version of this video with all the
calculations, please see the FULL ARTICLE here:

After calculating everything I have the following: protein: 108
grams/carbs: 206 grams/fat: 38 grams. I want to lose fat so let’s say I
bring my carb intake down to 75 grams. How much do I need to add in my
protein and fat intake? Your video was really helpful, this is just the
only thing I couldn’t come up with :)

Final Macros:
Protein: 192 grams
Carbs: 359 grams
Fat: 64 grams
My goal is to slowly gain weight and muscle around 1 lb per week, my carb
intake seems too high though according to the chart. Should I cut down the
carbs and add protein in? Any help would be greatly apreciated

Aw man… Thank you so much Scott, I really can’t thank you enough with how
you’ve helped me tremendously.
I’ve been interested in Fitness since 2012 and failed to understand
bodybuilding until I had a decent amount of knowledge from 1 year worth of
youtube’s fitness/bodybuilding channels and sites. And only in 2013 did I
finally go to a gym which I stayed for 9 months but still had poor gains
and a not even decent result. Because I never understood how to count my
calories or macros… And I am so glad that I have searched your video in a
second today and… finally.
It was so easy, simple, extremely clear. And thank you for giving us one of
the best videos ever in the fitness world for us beginners to make this.
Because it’s tough without courses or a diploma to learn all of this.
I really can’t thank you enough. Now I can finally get started in a true
great bodybuilding journey with real gains!
THANK YOU!!! And thank you for all the amazing how-to exercises videos that
I’ve always used in the gym.

When I type the numbers in the BMR calculator, should I type my lean weight
or my fat weight in the weight box/field?
waalex11 says:

Is 250cal added to your BMR a gain of 1lb of muscle a week?

So you don’t recommend eating over 300g of carbs?
waalex11 says:

Thank you so much! I feel like I’ve needed this for a decade and hope to
ascend from a beginner bodybuilder that I have been stuck as for almost 2
years… it seems very hard without a bodybuilding diploma.

Does that mean grams of protein as in a chicken breast weighing 200 grams??
Then that counting, or like 100 grams of chicken = 20 grams of protein? Can
someone help:(

Why do you average those two BMR values ? The numbers do seem more accurate
but I just don’t understand why.

Question. What’s the benefit to having more calories from fat than calories
from carbs?
John Park says:

Hi Scott,
Great video man, finally a clip I could comprehend…stupid question – can
you count your carb intake from veggies and fruits as well? The reason i’m
asking is because I am on the paleo diet which means no grains or lentils.
I can eat potatoes, but a sweet potato has about 27g, which doesn’t cover
my goal of 75-100g per day (trying to lose the small sliver of belly fat i
have). If i can’t count fruits and veggies, and recommendations of other
carb sources besides the items mentioned above is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Scott, curious if you can help me. Im 24yrs old, 5′ 7″ at 163 lbs. I had a
DEXA body scan for body fat percentage and sitting at 18.5% body fat, 126.4
lbs lean mass, and 6.8 lbs bone mass. I would like to cut my body fat down
while gaining lean muscle. Would you recommend 2,527 calories daily with
macros changed to 95g carbs 284g protein and 112g fat?

Thank you so much for this video. I just finished my meal prepping for the
week and it only took me a couple hours. It feels really good to have
everything ready for the entire week and not have to think about it again
until next week. Thanks for the inspiration.

I always wanted to try this and this is a great video! My main concearn is
eating what I have prepared and not eating what I really want (using the
same ingredients). It does sound time saving but could be rather
monotonous… I’ll give it a try anyway :)

Do you freeze everything and microwave it just before you eat or do you
microwave it in the morning before you leave for work?

I am a diabetic and your meals sounds like something, I can incorporate in
my quest to be insulin free. Your vid is great . What is the protein drink
called? Do you freeze any of your meals. These meals are easy peasy’.
Thanks

I see that some of them snacks have a lot of sodium and saturated fat. But
the meals you cooked are just right for me. Nice video by the way:-)

syrup from the canned peaches.

How does it work out in terms of freezing/chilling? e.g do you make them
one evening and freeze them all? + when do you take them out to thaw?

Do you go week to week everyday or do you take a day off??
Mrbaltimore2001 says:

I’m back at working 6 days a week, have done this in the past. I’m just
checking out a few videos to see if there is anything else I can make my
long weeks easier.
Only advice I could give to folk doing this is fix meals you actually enjoy
eatting. No point in fixing bake chicken with green beans, and mac and
cheese if that isn’t one of your favorite meals, because it will easily get
pushed to the back of the refrigerator.

soujagurlsha,
do you freeze your meals or does your chicken last for 6 days in the
fridge?
