I know quite a few people who have had success counting macros once they find that "sweet spot" with their numbers. One of those individuals gave me some baseline numbers to stick to for a week and see how I do.
60F 250P 200C 100 minutes of cardio throughout the week. Anyone else have good results? |

Are you lifting as well?
I used it with varying degrees of success. But ultimately ended up using it as an excuse to eat like a pig at night. In the long run didn't work well for me but I think it has its place. Like every "diet" it's simply a way of decreasing food intake. |

Good article about macros, nutrition.
I post this all the time, everyone is probably sick of it. http://www.barbellmedicine.com/potpourri/584/ Also, no idea if those numbers are good for you. Would need more info. Height, weight, age, goals, training, etc. |

This includes meal timing, meal frequency, calories, macros and so on. Find what works for you. It's amazing how simple tweaks can go a long way. An example is in the article they list recomp calories at 12.75 per pound. If I ate 12.75 cals per pound I'd probably lose 2-3 pounds a week. Keep a food log and play around with things. You'll find what works for you and that very may well be IF but it certainly isn't necessary. So with that all said what are you goals here? |

The guy who wrote it is a strong dude like yourself, I think his deadlift is well into the 700's now and he isn't a real super heavyweight guy. |

I've found I'm far too lazy to try and count every thing I put on a sandwich. 
It's kind of a pain in the ass the first week, but FitnessPal is a live saver. I still lift 3-5 days a week, even though I've cut the weight back a little bit because of a reoccurring back issues. |
