I'm not being a dick, but is this not obvious? I'm not being a smart arse, I just thought this was fairly common knowledge...
Here's one though, regarding training performance.. I train at 5 am, don't eat before, I'd rather sleep, then I go to work and don't eat till probably 10.. Do u think this is less than optimal?
That is a usual way to determine your macro requirements, e.g., protein requirements, carb requirements, and fats, or protein requirements, fat requirements and the remainder carbs, but what makes this particularly 'flexible' as such?
Oh man, have you ever coached people?
It's terrible. Most people make a few meals then make up a meal at the end of the today to make it all fit. Well this way you can plan in advance. AND it lays out the groundwork for people to build on. It also demonstrates what is best used as a "calorie buffer", instead of the usual "HURR I have 200kcal left, gonna deck some ice cream now" you get from the IIFYM crowd
It's flexible because you delegate the ESSENTIAL nutrients first (protein and carb intake) and the rest of it is pretty much free calories. You're not bound to silly macronutrient ratios. For fatties though, it is less flexible. It DOES however provide a good framework for cheating though. If they want flapjack, they can just look up the number of carbs in it, subtract the number of carbs from other things to hit the target range for carbs and still know they are in the right zone for fat loss
I go even more simple than that. Calorie target, minimum protein amount.
I go even more simple than that. Calorie target, minimum protein amount. Eat protein with each meal. For those that tend to take the flexible thing a bit far, add a fibre target (and don't include bloody quest bars LOL).
I just keep my carbs high but then again fat is reasonably high to.
who makes the guidelines?
Same here, Calorie target range, minimum Protein and I also aim for 6-10 serves of Fruit and Vege per day (which takes care of my fibre). I fill the rest in with StarchesI go even more simple than that. Calorie target, minimum protein amount. Eat protein with each meal. For those that tend to take the flexible thing a bit far, add a fibre target (and don't include bloody quest bars LOL).
People with much more knowledge than you or me on the topic.
