In other words, fat, protein and carbohydrates. This differs from micronutrients, which are needed in smaller quantities such as vitamins and minerals
POINTERS
Length of Bulk/Cut
The standard range varies from 12-16 weeks for a sustained diet.
That being said, this is tailored to your goals and when you intend to meet them. Just remember, SUSTAINABILITY is key.
Weight Change Per Week
Standard range varies from 0.5% - 1.5%.
Protein Target
For general population, 0.5g - 0.7g is typical. For active individuals, 0.7g - 1.0g is typical. Aim higher if you are looking to retain muscle tissue on a diet.
Fat Target
Standard range varies from 20% - 35%. Higher daily fat will result in less carbs. This is personal preference if you enjoy carbs or fats more in your diet.
