Protein/carbs

London1990

I'm trying to lower my carbs and increase my protein intake as I have found that I have no energy on my usual carby diet. Can someone please give me some guideline amounts so that I can reset my diary? It's currently on the default which is:
Carbs: 169
Protein: 68
Thanks!

I currently do 30% carbs, 35% protein, and 35% fat. When I was really low carb I was doing more like 20% carb and 40% protein 40% fat. I"m slowly introducing more carbs because I'm done cutting and I"m reverse dieting up.

I am sure you will get different answers from everyone here but I had to play around with my macros a few times trying different amounts different weeks I have found my best is 40% 30 % 30% I feel most satisfied at those amounts and it keeps my blood sugar in check

That's probably about what I'll end up at when I'm done reverse dieting.

I played around with my macros and found that I have the best fat loss results with the following:
at most 100g of carbs
at least 125g of protein
50-70g of fat
I try to stay in the 1450-1600 calorie range.
