Firstly, determine the total amount of calories you need to burn every day in consultation with your personal trainer who has knowledge of your training and other aspects related to the daily needs,then calculate the total of carbohydrates, protein and fat you need, based on the principle that your diet should consist of 60% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 10% fat.
Let’s assume that you need 3000 calories per day. From these, 60% should come from carbohydrates (3000×0,60) 1800 calories.One gram carbohydrate releases during the burning of four calories. So dividing 1800 by 4 you find the grams of carbohydrates ie. 450gr. Then taking into account that 30% of total calories should come from protein and that one gram of protein equals 4 calories we find that we need
225gr of protein. With the same way we find the grams of fat, which is 37.5 (one gram of fat equals 8 calories).
This diet is easy to follow taking you four main categories namely food.
