Carb Mixed Type Eating

dst01

I have recently done a questionnaire on Macros with BePure to find out the best foods for me to eat. It came up with Carb - Mixed Type. Has anyone heard of this and what ratio of macros would you suggest. From what I read in effect this means eating about the same protein and carbs and low fat. I am a woman aged 70 years without a weight problem.

I would be interested in hearing members ideas / opinions.

Probably not much science behind that. If its from a satiety or energy standpoint, than i can potentially see the benefit. It would probably also show for high vitamins and minerals consumption which may help energy as well. If you are dealing with weight useless, i would just focus on whole, nutritionally dense foods that are higher in protein and fiber. There are plenty of high fat for that are super healthy (salmon, avocado, olives and olive oil, nuts/seeds), so i would not worry about restricting then either.

If you're not pursing weight loss, what is the goal you're pursuing by changing your eating? Hoping to affect a worrisome health condition? Trying to support increased or generally challenging exercise load? Just trying to eat more healthfully?

I'm not familiar with BePure, so can't judge it specifically, but other "best foods for me" things I've seen were not well-founded in sound nutritional science. The intro pages for BePure encourage me to be skeptical, frankly.

I think folks here could give you better advice if we knew what you're trying to accomplish. (In case it matters, I'm a generally healthy, active 64-year-old woman maintaining a healthy body weight for about 4 years now, since losing from obese in 2015, after being obese for around 3 decades before that.)
