35% protien 25% carbs 40% fat

DontJustWishForItWorkForIt

Desperately looking for some one on the same or similar macro ratio plan as me. This ratio was suggested by a fitness trainer to me today but I have no clue what to eat to accomplish this so new friends with open diarys on the same plan would really really help although any info is appreciated:))

Even if you find someone with the same ratios as you, it won't be of any help.


**Example of 3 individuals with the same 35% pro / 25% carbs / 40% fat ratio**


Person A: 125 g pro (500 cals) / 89 g carbs (356 cals) / 63 g fat (567 cals) = 1423 cals/day

Person B: 163 g pro (652 cals) / 116 g carbs (464 cals) / 83 g fat (747 cals) = 1863 cals/day

Person C: 265 g pro (1060 cals) / 190 g carbs (760 cals) / 135 g fat (1215 cals) = 3035 cals/day

Do you see what I mean?

Ratios can be the same among people, yet the grams and total calories those grams provide can be vastly different. Go by the actual grams those ratios provide, not the ratios themselves, which are arbitrary.

Here is the correct way to measure what your macros should be:

Protein: 0.60-0.80 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research for active individuals.

Dietary Fat: 0.40-0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical observation (unless obese).

Remaining caloric budget: whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer, notably a rich variety of nutritious high fiber carbs and healthy fats.
