    I am trying to eat 120 grams of protein a day at a 30% protein, 20% fat, 50% carb ratio. The reason I have this ratio is because I commute by bike 12 hours a week and need the energy, but am also trying to build lean muscle mass. It seems my macro nutrients end up 30-something percent instead. The more protein I try to eat, the more fat comes on. If I only eat shrimp, non-fat yogurt and protein powder I can do it, but throw in eggs, nuts, seeds, beef, salad dressing, or most other things I can think of and my ratio is thrown off. I don't think this ratio of macros is realistic for me, but don't know how else to get enough protein to build while having enough energy to function without over eating.

    Beans.
