Does anyone know what the nutritional percentage breakdown is for the paleo diet?

I think it varies. Paleo gives you the basic foods to eat, then you decide how to implement it.
That being said, most seem to do moderate to a bit higher protein with moderate to low carbs. Fat seems moderate to high. As a generalisation, I would say carbs are usually less than 30%, and protein is 20-30%... My best guess.
I eat basically a primal diet (I include full fat dairy) but I am in ketosis so my carbs are very low, and my fat is high. That's just how I set up my macros.0 -
Hi, Ive been doing this now for 2mth and feel great. On training days I aim for 50% protein, 20% carb and 30% fat.
On rest days I go for 55% Protein, 10% carb and 35% fat. Feeling great and have adopted a couple of new high protein products into my diet. Feeling great after the initial carb withdrawal headaches.

Thank you sunshine. I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't sure. I've been doing a lot of research on the paleo diet. I think it may finally end the yo-yoing my weight has been doing for the last 7 years. I am, however, having trouble letting go of the low-fat low-calorie way of thinking. But all of the research comes back to paleo and I think it may be the answer for me.1

Carbs good, good fat is good, excess of calories no matter what diet you decide to follow is not. I am mostly paleo and mostly whole30 all the time but still very aware of the calories I eat.
Yes, I do plan on counting my calories. I just want to try paleo in the hopes that I can get some of this stubborn fat off. I do exercise 5-6 days a week at my gym, but it's not going to do any good if I can't clean up my diet.0
