QUESTION:
What would be a basic food chart to follow to lose 1-2 pounds per week?
ANSWER:
A good basic food chart would be a 500-1000 (being the very most) calorie deficit with 35-45% of calories coming from protein, 20-30% of your calories coming from fat, and then 45-25% of your calories coming from carbs.
So if i were to have a 500 calorie deficit with a 2000 calorie diet at a 35p/20f/45c split i would eat 175g protein {2000 calories x 35%=700 calories/4 calories(4 calories per 1g of protein) = 175g protein}, 45g of fat {2000 calories x 20%=400 calories/9 calories ( 9 calories per 1g of fat)= 45g of fat} and 225g of carbs ( follow the same equation as we did for protein except use 45%)
