If im following a 1200 calorie diet, how many fats ---- carbs---- and proteins am I allowed. I think I have mine set below what I should allow myself.

    40/30/30 Carbs, Fat, Protein is a great place to start. Some people find they like less carbs and more protein but that ratio is a great jumping spot. Just make sure that at 1200 you're hitting your micros and eating exercise calories (or at least half pretty please) back. I wish you the best!
