I'm really enjoying my gym membership, went for 4 days straight now. I'm wondering if I should change my macro's to include more protein. Right now I'm at 10% carbs 70% fat and 20% protein. What's your advice FS fam? Thank you!

Yes, protein a building block for muscle repair which creates growth also it depends also if you start feeling sluggish during your workout it's from your lack of carbs, your body needs energy to work from. 10% is really low.

I seem to have plenty of energy to get through and hour workout, so I will up my protein and lower the fat maybe?

My goal is 40 carbs 30 protein 30 fat but I’m in the gym for 1 hour every day because I’m rehabbing from an ACL replacement and meniscus repair.

Look for an online macro calculator that takes into account your activity level. That will calculate if you should be including more protein for muscle growth.

What are you aiming for at the gym? Toning? Aerobic exercise? Or muscle building? I’m certainly no expert 😜 but that might matter as to how much protein etc you need. Your macros look like you’re doing Keto. LCHF. If so, reduce fat intake a little and increase protein. Make your body burn that stored fat for energy. Again, I’m just assuming that’s what your going for 😊
