Calorie Intake for 7 week GPP Hypertrophy

Nutrition Q&A [Moderated]
1

The US Navy Body Fat Estimate for me is 22% with a 37" waist @187lbs. Fluffiness confirmed. 42 y/o male.
If I have the calculations right using the recomposition numbers I should be doing the following:
2384 Cal
215g Protein
233g Carbs
65g Fat

If I can get compliance with this I’ll start looking at changing carb ratios depending on the days as suggested. I’m going to struggle to eat this much.

About to start the 7 Week Hypertrophy program.

Guestimate Goals: 33"? or better waist and into the teens in BF%(16-17%?). Unsure exactly what would be a reasonable over the program.

  1. Do the calculations look correct considering age and program?
  2. Do the goals look achievable or I am setting myself up for failure?

I don’t feel too bad about the BF, I was 189lbs @26% March 2017. Yay, SSLP and one Bridge crossing.

Without knowing what you’re eating now, it’s hard to say if that’s calorically appropriate.

That’s a pretty steep goal given where you are at right now for 7 weeks, but I think it’s a good aim.
