In the next chapters you will learn how to keep it super simple with
the food and achieve your goals without any struggle.
You will learn to estimate your calorie needs for either fat loss or
body mass gain and also how to manipulate the macronutrients
protein , carbs and fat.
Tracking the food we put in our bodies is the most reliable way to
lose body fat (with minimum muscle loss) and gain lean body mass.
I hope that this guide will give you a better perspective on your
nutritional needs and save you a lot of time and effort.
Let`s begin !
All the food we eat contains calories that are burnt by our bodies for
any move we make including breathing , digestion etc.
Women
10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) 161
Very active = BMR x 1.72 (hard exercise every day or exercising 2 times/day)
Athlete level = BMR x1.9 (hard exercise 2 or more times/day or special training for
marathon or triathlon, etc.)
Example: If your BMR is 1,600 calories per day and your activity
level is moderately active (1.55 activity factor) you will need 2,480
calories (BMR x 1.55 = 1,600 x 1.55 = 2,480) to maintain your current
weight in this moment . If you want to lose weight, you would
either have to consume fewer calories everyday or increase your
activity level, you also could do both.
WEIGHT GAIN is also simple because here you have to add more
calories but you don`t want to gain a lot of fat and stay as lean as
possible. For this I recommend to increase your calorie intake with
10-15 % and you will adjust in time the values.
Example : 2,480 cal + 496 cal = 2,976 cal
Try to eat the majority of your calories from whole foods and stay
consistent !
MACRONUTRIENTS
The importance of Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat
Macronutrients are nutrients needed for growth, metabolism
and the rest of other functions of the body. They are called
Macro because they are needed in large amounts in the
body.
The macronutrients are :
Protein
Fat
CARBOHYDRATES
Why do we need them ?
Classification
PROTEIN
Why is protein important ?
FAT
Why do we need fat ?
Many studies over the years have been shown that saturated
fat and trans fat increase the risk for heart disease while
unsaturated fat decrease the risk of developing a heart
disease.
Carbohydrates 45
Protein
Fat
35
MICRONUTRIENTS

Weight Loss for this we will reduce his total daily intake
by 20% 2604 (20% x 2604) = 2604 520 = 2084 calories/day
There are many variants to split these calories like low carb
diets , moderate or high carb.
I will use the Zone diet split which I find it the most balanced:
Carbs 40 % (208 g)
Protein 30 % (156 g)
Fat 30 % (69 g)
If you want to split the values according to the number of meals you
want to eat in a day I
recommend : www.macronutrientcalculator.com
