[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything I have read says the only real way to lose weight it to track calories. DH has gotten into calorie tracking and macro tracking and I am starting to as well.

He is aiming for 2300 calories a day with 180 grams of protein. He lifts 3 days a week and walks 4. Trying to lose 20ish pounds. He is 5’10 and weighs 211.

I am aiming for 1500 calories a day with 140 grams of protein. I walk around 15,000 steps a day plus do yoga or weight lifting 2-3 times a week. I am among to most 10-15 pounds. I am 5’7” and weigh 146.

Do the calorie and protein amounts seem feasible to losing this sort of weight? [/quote]

Your number sound great to me. I’m a 48 year-old female height 5 foot four and I use similar macros. If I find it hard to make the 140 g of protein then at least I aim for 100 and work up from there. As long as I’m above 100 and protein and under 1400 cal I’m good. Your husband’s macro sound a little off to me – I would recalculate his TDEE and figure out his deficit.. With a caveat that if it’s working for him just leave it be. There’s a group called Macros Inc on Facebook that is amazing, they give free macro advice and also have coaches you can hire that are a godsend. I use them and I also use the My Macros app to track my food. [/quote]
