I did a quick breakdown of my calories today (truely hate doing this). This is a rough estimate.

Total calories:4017
Fat calories (307gr): 2763 (67% of calories)
Protein calories (217gr): 868 (22% of calories)
Carbohydrate calories (110gr): 440 (11% of calories)

A little low on the protein. I weighed in at 225lbs today, so I would like to up this protein amount slightly. May have to start adding a protein shake to up that a little. I want at least 1gr per pound of bodyweight. This is a good rough number for an active person to shoot for.

Love that you did this. I'm pretty sure I don't get enough protein due to not having a very big appetite. Was just thinking last night I might have to start incorporating shakes. I tend to resist because real food is always better. Sometimes you have to compromise I guess.
