Hello.
I am on a 1400 calories and wish to maintain or lose a couple before vacation. How do I know the correct ratio between carbs, protein and fats. A low carb diets works well for me.
TIA

    After you hit your minimums of protein and fat, the correct ratio is the one that fills YOU up the best for the least amount of calories.

    I'm not especially satiated by fat, so I give more calories to carbs, and mostly get them from fruits, veggies, legumes, and whole grains.

    Since you like low carb, more calories to fat probably would work for you.

    What is your current protein goal and how well do you reach it?
