Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome and my doctor has put me on a Low carb, High Protein diet to help lose the weight. I love the fitness pal app for keeping track of my calorie and nutrition but I'm unsure of how to set it up for my new diet needs. I currently have my calorie breakdown set to Carb 25%, Fat 30%, Protein 45%, I'm not sure if this is the proper percentages for my weight loss needs. My goal is to lose weight and help manage the symptoms associated with PCOS. If someone could help me figure out the healthy way to do that I would really appreciate the help!

Thanks in Advance.

    If you are truly doing low carb diet as it is supposed to be you are getting too many carbs with 25%. I keep my carb/protein ration at twice as much protein (100 grams) as carbs (50 grams) and the rest is fat. Fat and protein are not the enemy of weight loss or good health but refined carbs such as grains and processed foods are.
