So what's the right carb percentage to put down for a vegetarian, flexitarian, or pescetarian diet? I'm flexitarian and still find that I go over on carbs every day without eating any outright sugar other than honey in my morning coffee. Is there really a benefit to the default values or any good reason to stick with the default carb and sugar levels as long as I stay within my calorie goal?

There isn't any "right". Macro ratios are a very individualized thing. I personally perform best when I'm eating moderate amounts of all three. Carbs aren't the devil...fat isn't the devil...protein doesn't have any miracle fat loss properties, etc.

I avoid grains because I get more protein from lentils and beans.

Lol at the eggs and fish "vegetarians".

For the actual question, I haven't seen anyone mention nutritional yeast (nooch) or subbing out regular bread for ezekiel bread.
