The CrossAxed Method

How to calculate macros without My Fitness Pal

Find protein requirement 1.5-2g a day

4 cals per gram

4 cals per gram of CHO

9 cals per gram Fat

7 cals per gram for alcohol

Using 80kg as an example

Lean mass x 1.5 (80x 1.5 = 120g) 120g = 

480cal from protein, = 120g

480cals fat / 9cals = 53.33g fat, 

480/x = 30/100

30x=480x100

30x=4800

/30

x = 1600cal

1600cal x .40 = 640cal cho /4 =160g

This week we reflect on what happened with the Coronavirus hitting us in Australia

This week I was fortunate to catch up with Matt Boyce from the Human Connection Project. We spoke mental health amongst many other things.

This week I sit down with Amy Goldstrom to discuss the role of hormones and how they affect training, recovery, mood and life in general.

This week José asked some questions about what being a firefighter is actually like.

This week we answer Gregg's question about whether pre or post workout nutrition is more important. We also discuss the CF Level 1 and whether it is beneficial in doing it or not.

We are finally back in the game and this week I speak with José Rojas about having the term Rx beside a workout...
