What are your daily carbs, fats, and protein percentages, and your fitness goals..? (lose, gain..)

catharinamkotze

The more fats you eat, the longer you feel full, the less calories you consume.

^^Wow, interesting!!

Anyone else have a hard time eating more than 70g of protein a day? I get to the end of the day and it's always my farthest from the goal consumption. I am eating meat and a normal amount of food, but am having to go out of my way to get more protein in.

Nope... I've reduced mine to 130g and have to limit the amounts I'd choose to eat.
Perhaps try planning meals in advance a day start by choosing a protein source for each meal

I'm trying to hit 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs, but I'm having a devil of a time reaching my fat goal over the last few days since I added intermittent fasting to keto. The goal is to lose weight, and it's coming along quite nicely at the moment.

Losing weight at 1200 calories (I'm a senior w/ low numbers). My macros are still at the default, but I find I usually end up with 40/40/20 eating the foods I like. Might be left over from old low carb habits I formed from earlier diets. I don't eat added sugar and keep white starches to the minimum.

I'm currently maintaining.
TDEE around 2200 calories average (varies considerably depending on daily exercise)
Height 4'11
Weight 100 pounds

My macros seem to natually fall at
40% around carbs (around 200 grams),
40% fat (around 90 grams) and
20% protein (120 grams).

This is more because of the food choices I like to make rather than a deliberate attempt to hit these ratios and these were about the same ratios when I was losing.

1200 calories

Carbs 30%
Protein 50%
Fat 20%

Aim is to lose 20kg - im slightly over half way.

RoxieDawn

Goal = Gain. I like to look at grams instead of %

120-125 grams of protein (around 25%)
200-210 grams of carbs (around 50%)
The rest fat

I too am a SR and trying to get on some kind of structured diet plan. I've gained and gained over the years and have to get my weight back down. I am trying to lose about 20 lbs right now, and then go from there. I was given a recommended 1500 cal a day, with a low carb goal of ..."20g of carbs, 88g protein, and 122g fat, you will eat 1533kcal and lose 1.5kg (3.2lbs) in the first month". My problem is with so low of carb intake, I am having trouble eating 1533 cal and real problem eating that much fat. I want to maintain my energy and feel this low achievement of my fat will end up causing me to drop out. Any suggestions? thanks....

I’ve followed low carb before but this feels right for me now, however if I go up on carbs I generally try and keep fats low and visa versa.

I just made a awesome salad tonight and stayed within my measly 2 g of carbs I had left for the day. I have 19 to start the day. So I am thrilled, cause the salad was yummy,,,,,, I think I can do this... grinning big!

Nice!

neely47

I do 35% Protein, 35% Carbs, and 30% Fats.

Graelwyn75

My protein varies from 70-90g.
My fats vary from 70-110
My carbs fill the rest.
I maintain anywhere from 1900-2800.

JustRobby1

Maintain @ 3200 calories

I do not pay attention to macros.

Dvdgzz

~150 grams of protein. That is the only one I worry about, I get plenty of fat and carbs as well. Losing fat.

3k calories per day give or take depending on activity.

This may not be true for everyone. It's definitely not true for me since fats are not very satiating to me. My split is 60% carbs, 25% protein, and 15% fat. The numbers vary a bit daily, of course. I am trying to lose very slowly, trying to decrease body fat and increase/maintain muscle. I'm about 5 pounds from where I'd ultimately like to be. I eat 1400 - 1800 calories/day, depending on activity.

DEBOO7

Calories: 1098
Carb: 22g (8%), Fat: 70g (57%), Protein: 95g (35%)
Stats: W=114lbs, H=5'2", Age=56
Goal 1) Reduce body fat from 22.1% to 21%
Goal 2) Build lean muscle
Goal 3) 110lbs (if possible, I'm small boned so it's a good goal weight for me)
Personal rule.... I ignore exercise calories which means I don't worry if I go over my calorie count. If I do it's because my protein intake is higher.
Exercise per week: crossfit 3x week, swimming 3x week (1 to 1.5km each swim), walk 7x10-12km

acfisher88

Losing around 0.5-1kg per week on 1350 cals a day, aiming for at least 100g of protein.
It's breaking down as around:
45% carb
35% protein
20% fat
