Calorie Breakdown (part two)

We'll discuss the second option (at least part of it) - calorie breakdown according to the body type (my suggestions;-)

ECTOMORPH

Let’s suppose just for this example that our athlete is an ectomorph and not endomorph. The calories were 1926. The lean body mass was aprox. 130LB. Start with the protein again. Do 1g per LB for the example:

Same like in the previous example: 130 g --> 520 Cal, which is 27% of the total 1926 Cal
(1926 / 100 = 19.26; 520 / 19.26 = 26.99 --> 27%)

Since ectomorphs can handle a lot more of their calories to come from carbohydrates I recommend a ratio of about 70/30 between cabs and fats of what is left from the total calories after we subtract the protein calories:

1926 – 520 = 1406 Cal (1406 Cal is the 100% now and we work with this number since we already determined the protein quantity)

We have: 1406 / 100 = 14.06

14.06 x 70 = 984 Cal

984 / 4 = 246g carbohydrates

and

14.06 x 30 = 421 Cal

422 / 9 = 47g fat

Voila:

Protein – 130g

Carbohydrates – 246g

Fat – 47g

Next: my suggestion for mesomorphs..
