Fewer carbs, more greens and proteins?

itstartedtoday

Hey everyone...

For weight loss (245lbs and 5"7) what ratio of carbs/proteins/fat should I go for?

I word out 3-4 times a week (Body pump twice and stationery bike 4 times a week).

Please, any help is welcome.

I'm just getting more confused by all the articles on the net.

The settings MPF gives you is not a bad place to start. 45%carbs/25% protein/ 30%fat - You can tweak it from there to see what works best for you.

For weight loss, all you need is a calorie deficit. Does not matter what % Protein/carbs/fats.

For health, meet your micronutrient goals. For body comp, getting about 1g per pound of lean body mass in protein is recommended and meeting your fat intake (I treat it as a minimum). Carbs fall where they may. Unless you have a medical condition, do what makes you feel best.

Veggies and fruits will be good to meet your micros and fiber goal but there's nothing wrong with squeezing some fun in there, too.
