What is your carbs/protein/fat ratio?

Thanks for your input.

    55/15/30
    C / P / F

    But I'm usually under on carbs and over on protein.

    EDITED TO ADD: I go off the Mayo Clinic guidelines: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-diet/NU00200

    50/20/30 c/p/f i think.. i set carbs lower at first, but i had a really hard time staying below that and kept not making proteins (even though i do already eat quite a bit of those) This seems to work for me for now.

    I started with 50/30/20 (P/C/F) and switched now to 40/40/20. 30& Carbs was quiet hard, I was over many times. But 40% is pretty fine, and my protein intake is still very high with 40%.

    So far I've been using mfp's default settings, but I think I'll try to adjust them. Carbs are usually under and fat and protein are sometimes over. I don't eat meat, and apart from cheese and eggs the fat mostly comes from fish and plant oils. I used to eat more carbs (before mfp), and I used to have huge sugar cravings, but since I've reduced the carbs and started to eat more protein I'm not on that blood sugar rollercoaster anymore, so I don't want to go back to eating more carbs again.

    Carbs: 45
    Protein: 25
    Fat: 30

    That said, I don't track fat as I rarely eat anything that I think will be loaded in bad fats, but I DO track my saturated fat.

    50/30/20 c/p/f

    I've done 45% carbs before to (so 35% protein) but that mean't I wasn't enjoying much out of life when I had to sacrifice my beloved All-Bran for breakfast or 1/2 cup rice for dinner. Upping my carbs has allowed me to up my fat which was greatly needed. Before I couldn’t get over 10g now I'm hitting 26g and more (but all under the daily goal) by having a peanut butter and sugar-free jam sandwich daily for lunch. Perfect at my desk so my full lunch time can be spent walking.

    Interesting.... everyone above me is eating more fat than protein...

    55% carbs/ 25% protein/ 20% fat

    Those are the goals I put into MFP. I usually end up higher on the protein and lower on the carbs, so it may be time for me to reset my goals :)
