Does anyone count them?


whats the best split when weight training for females

I loosely keep track.

If you're going with power and strength then i'd aim for at least 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight and make sure to have enough carbs before and after training to keep glycogen in the muscles so you'll stay strong.

My wife did but soon lost track. Doesn't seem to have held her back though. Deadlifting one and a half times her body weight and improving every week.

Edit: Her PT advised 50% carbs, 25% fat and 25% protein.

Some people can stick to it, many will give up.


Check out Jeff on the Athlean-X YouTube channel on how he splits food on a plate. Just my opinion but i'd say it's easier (or at least more likely) to stick to. Some really informative videos on there (unless you're the type to look for faults in everything).


No he doesn't pay me

PTs at my gym say 60 protein and 20 fats 20 carbs


I find 60 percent protein really difficult
