What percentage of calories should come from protein, fat, and carbs for cutting while maintaining muscle?
I'm eating 190g protein, 207g carbs, and 53g fat to bring my calories to 2,065. Is my carbohydrate intake too high if I'm trying to lose body fat? I weigh 227 lb at 29% body fat, and I do two full-body workouts a week. My first workout is three sets of six with heavy weights (bench press, squats, deadlifts, rows, and overhead press). My second workout is with lighter weights and higher reps (12 to 15). I also walk for 40 minutes 5 days a week or use the elliptical for 25 to 30 minutes on a HIIT setting. Is my carbohydrate intake too high to lose body fat?
