Hello all,
I'm new to exercising and dieting. Currently, my weight is around 86kg and trying to cut to 80kg. I have over 40" waist and according to BMI I would be overweight. Sometimes, I consider myself skinny fat. A big waist line, narrow shoulders, and chicken legs.
For the last 6 months my weight yo-yo from 85 - 87. My calorie intake is normally under 2000 per day. I normally stay between 1700 - 1800. However, I'm struggling in hitting my daily protein intake around 150 g per day. I get about 90g. In order to get closer, I'm interested in making my own protein bars. Has anyone tried to make their own protein bars either bake or non bake?
Does anyone know any good websites for protein bars?
Is it possible and get the same benefits mixing dried soybeans and egg together in a recipe?
I normally do resistance training 3 days a week and some light cardio for 2 days a week.
What would be a good percentage of macro nutrients I should aim for to cut and gain muscles? My goal is Carb. 30%, Protein 45%, and Fat 25%.
Any suggestions is appreciated.

How tall are you?
Forget the % with your macros. Get your daily minimum for fats and protein macros and fill in the rest of the calories how you like
I highly doubt you’ve been eating 1800 cals day and not losing weight at 86 kg
You don’t need protein bars to get enough protein in. Just look into lean proteins and whey isolate powder
If you really like them, order vitafiber and make your own quest bars then again you could just get fat free Greek yogurt with berries

I'm around 183 cm tall or 6'1" currently around 86 kg. I've checked my records. I recorded my starting weight at 82.3 kg and my waist 40 1/2" on Aug. 24, 2020. Now March 12, 2021 I'm at 86 kg. Can these be do to increase of muscle mass?Originally Posted by snailsrus
I've use My Fitness Pal to register my daily calories. It's always been around 1,800 calories.
Is it possible that my cheat days I go overboard over 2,000 calories. I do this once a week on a Saturday. Normally, its a 12" thin crust meat pizza with a can of coke. How can I balance my cheat days?
Thank you,
czulsk

* edited - just realised you are gaining weight... no way you are sticking to 1800 calories and have put on over 3kg. You need to double check your counting...
Don't have cheat days...
Count calories on every day and make sure the average is below your TDEE if you want to lose weight. Just choose a sensible deficit level and stick to it constantly. If it's too high, you will fall off the wagon or feel terrible.
Yes, cheat days can easily throw your weekly average way off. The problem is that your appetite wants to put you back at maintenance or above so you can never have as much as you want if you are staying in a deficit.
I find it best to always avoid foods that trigger your appetite. It's not a treat if you have a tiny bit and then feel hungry as hell afterwards.Last edited by SuffolkPunch; 03-12-2021 at 04:15 AM.

To put this in perspective, a single medium tandoori hot dominoes is around 2000 calories on its own, even most of the smaller shop bought over pizzas clock in around 1600 cals
You can wreck your entire weeks progress in the course of an hour, don't do cheat days, just try and incorporate foods you enjoy moderately into your weekly calorie total without feeling the need to 'binge out' on any given day in order to feel like you're enjoying themSomehow still managing to avoid getting 'too big'

Well you can get that kind of pizza here, it just isn't going to be from Domino's - which I don't eat anyway.Originally Posted by snailsrus
