I'm no expert but as you are referring to percentages. I think if you were to eat more carbs over the rest of the week and less fats and proteins your percentages will adjust to reflect this. Hope this helps 

Thing is, I'm only eating chicken, eggs and healthy stuff. I'd struggle to keep the fat and protein down really? And carbs is what I'm actually aiming to cut out...not even sure what macros even are!! 😂😂 

As long as you have a deficit you'll lose weight. (If losing weight is all you're worried about.) Unless you're following a specific diet which is based upon your macros I wouldn't worry to much about them. If you're worried, eat less fat and protein (so less eggs, butter, meat, etc) and more carbs (fruits, vegetables, rice, potatoes, barley, oats, bread.) 

If you wanna lose fat go keto diet 

Don’t follow you’re macros on here it’s bullshit if you’re training then use a macro calculater online 

I’m training and my macros on here are the same as yours 50% carbs 30% protein 20% fat. But my macros for my size ain’t that at all, low carb and you’re protein and fats will go up for energy, on here I’m 29% carbs 34% fat 40% protein 

If you're aiming to cut out carbs, then your macros on here aren't correct. You'll need to go in and specifically change them, use a calculator on a trustworthy site for the sort of diet you want to do (high fat low carb, low carb high protein, keto, etc), your macros is just the type of food you eat.  

I dont no im confussed as I didnt no this had so many carbs,fats etc ive just been counting calories 

It depends what you want, if you’re overweight and just wanting to lose weight then just follow your calorie intake but if you train and want to tone up and create muscle mass then follow you’re macros  

Nice one troops cheers.. basically I'm 94kg 510" I wanna get down to about 85kg.....so yeah I'm probably on the right path...done 12.5 mile on tread mill since Monday so with the deficit and excercise I wannabe seeing results when I weigh on Sunday. Sod the macros 😂 

Just fine 5 mile in 1hr 4min... personal best there 😉😉 

When i set up my diet I followed these rules. In my case I was slightly under 20% of body fat, although with a 9% of visceral fat (dammit) due to long time slow accumulation. I hence cut 3500 kcal to my weekly uptake, which should make about 500 of fat lost per week. At that point I worked on macros: decided to cut brutally on fats so to keep up carbs as high as possible (taking into account that I am training quite brutally) and kept proteins to a minimum of 2gr per kg of lean mass (2*65 kg = 130 gr). Discounted the calories from proteins and fats I got my daily carbs income (250 grams) that I split in two: 3 days at 290 kcal (training days), 4 days at 220.  

Is that what people do to cut? High carb low protein? And what difference does eating more carbs on training days do?
