= Your Daily Calorie Requirements Are: 2489 Calories Per Day
@ 155lb body mass
1. Set protein intake at 1g/lb of lean body mass = 155g (21 g per 100g chicken breast / 1 large Egg = 3.6g)
2. This individual is moderately insulin sensitive so
we’ll set his carbohydrate intake at
1.5g/lb of lean body mass: = 232.5g (approx 6-7 cups rice)
3. Since carbohydrates and proteins contain 4 calories per gram,
then we have (155+232.5) x 4: 1550 calories from proteins and carbohydrates
4. Therefore, this individual’s fat intake will come from
the leftover calories to reach 2489: 2489-1550=939 calories
939/9 (fat calorie) calories per g of fat=~104g of fat per day
