Macros on 80/10/10

Posted by Crystal on May 7, 2014 at 6:51pm in Main Chat

I am not a raw vegan yet, but in two weeks I will be making the transformation. I plan to follow the 80/10/10 plan. I've been creating meal plans to help me on my raw vegan journey and I've been using Myfitnesspal to help me with creating these meal plans to make sure I'm reaching my calorie limits. However, I find that when I reach my calorie limit of 2000, I'm over my Macros. Is it okay to be over Macros? I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I was just curious

    Okay I thought we needed 2000, another raw vegan I watch on YouTube recommended that much. But is it okay if I'm over my macros ?

      yes it is.  

      another useful calculation is to consume 10 grams of carbs per kilogram of bodyweight.

      Not micros

        it is okay to go over your carbs but not your protein or fat.

    2500 would be the minimum for ladies:

    Why 2500/3000 Calories A Day?

    As for macros you want a minimum of 80% carbs and a max of 10% protein and fat.

    For micros, they will be different than the RDAs, you'll probably get about 2000% of the RDA of vitamin C for example.  Read more here: http://www.30bananasaday.com/notes/Frequently_Asked_Questions   Scroll down to C.
