Calories Yesterday

Worked out in the morning: deadlifts, chin ups, bent over row, crunches. I'm a 5'11" male, 166lbs, probably ~10 to 12% bodyfat. Goals are strength & muscle gain, maintain lean profile.

Discussion. Every once in a while I keep a tally to see how I'm doing. Use a kitchen scale and WolframAlpha.com to compute your macros. It's of course an approximation, but as close as you can get, I think.

For calories from each, use 9 cal/gram for fat, and 4 cal/gram for carbs and protein. You may notice that the percentages in the last row only add up to 98%. Close enough!
