What are your carb/fat/protein percentages?

When deciding how to break out your macronutrients, you might also want to consider your body type, your activity levels (frequency, duration, intensity), and your ultimate goals.

First: figure out if you're ecto-, endo- or meso-morph. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, google them.

Second: people who do endurance sports or a lot of cardio have different carb requirements than those who primarily lift. Eat to fuel your activity. There is nothing inherently wrong or fattening about carbs or fat--although eating a diet high in sugar, refined flours, or saturated fat is probably not good for anybody--but if you take in a lot of carbs and don't burn them off, then you are likely to struggle to lose weight or worse, lose lean mass. If you are trying to build muscle, ramping up your protein is a must.

Three: Are you working towards a weight goal or a fitness goal? do you want to be thin or lean? do you want to achieve something particular in a favorite sport, etc? How you eat, and the food choices you make, should reflect these goals.

These settings are highly dependant on your personal situation and history.
Carbs and I do NOT get along and since I have PCOs (high insulin resitance) its important I watch them.

Protein 55%
Carbs 25%
Fat 20%

Most of my carbs actually come from things like greek yogurt, cheese, protein shakes, veggies.
I don't eat processed white flour - pasta/bread etc...but I do eat a lot of Quinoa or whole grains.
I do love the Thomas bagel thins -- thats my breakfast splurge.

Fat = 60%
Protein = 25%
Carbs = 15%.

I think that's probably pretty average for me.

I generally don't keep a super close eye on it and just stick to my eating guidelines: meat, veggies, nuts, and fruits.
