Balancing Carbs/Fat/Protein

jessmsu81

What does everyone average for their pie chart breakdown?

My goal settings are 40% Carbs, 20% Fat, 40% Protein.

Is that even right?

I can't seem to get close no matter how well I try to balance/eat....

My weekly average tends to be 52% Carbs, 29% Fat, and 19% Protein.

EEKS!

Suggestions?!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/expertise!

Well it tells me to balance 55% carbs, 30% fat and 15% protein.
I'm usually pretty close to that. Sometimes more protein and less fat.
Sometimes more or less carbs. Really depends on the day, but I'm generally pretty close to those.

Percentages don't really matter. It's all about hitting fat and protein minimums and then just make up the rest. Here is a great way to work out what you need in regards to fats and protein.

Oh! If I went by that guideline TheMelephant, I'd be rocking it! I think I changed from guided to custom settings for that at some point, because I was taking a nutrition class at the time that taught another method. Maybe I need to swap it back -- can't find where to do it now though! Shoot.

Woah, that's a lot of info Wooly_I_am -- I will definitely check it out, thank you!

If you want to change it back, go to "my home" then "goals" then "edit goals."
