macros...

Does anyone use really high calories for there macro ratios? Ive worked with Phil before and ever since have made good gains eating in ratios...right now I am doing about 60/60/20. I eat only when hungry with small exceptions (usually try to get in something post workout and before I go to bed). I have been debating almost doubling it or keeping the same ratios and going up to something like 100/100/35. Thinking about doing this only because of time constraints and the high of amounts of calories I already consume on a daily basis. Would this make much of difference? Does anyone else do this or what do you think I can expect from this.

You mean high ratios or high calories? % or grams?

really. if those are percentages, he needs to recheck the math.

LOL
I'm guessing he is talking grams per meal as in: 60g pro 60g carbs 20g fat,
Kind of confusing

Increasing from 60 grams of protein, 60 grams of carbs, and 20 grams of fat to 100grams of protein, 100 grams of carbs and 35 grams per meal...still eating only when I got hungry...obviously I wouldn't be as hungry as often, but by then end of the day I would still end up with the same amount of calories, give or take...
