Everyone tracks different things, but this is what I track carbs, fat, protein, fiber. And I have my macros set at 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

I know you track/log sat fat, but if you lower you fat to 30% or lower then you usually don't have to worry about the sat fat being too high. But I wouldn't lower my fat below 20% because your body needs some fats to help with processing fat soluable vitamins and what not.

I put in all the stats that scooby advised, so 30% protein, 50% Carb and 20% fat

Still getting used to all this, bit of a nightmare trying to keep educated on it all

That's okay we're here to help. Most people here use the 40/30/30, but it's totally up to you how you want to set it up. On scooby's website you can change the macros to your liking too.

I like having the 30% fat and protein because it has helped my skin clear up & nails are not splitting like they used to & my hair is not coming out in clumps any more!!!!!

Also this may be a bit more than you want to hear, but my hormones have leveled out. So no more crazy red headed lady!!!!! :drinker:

I set mine by doing the Jillian Michaels oxidizer test. This will determine whether you are a balanced, slow or fast oxidizer. Lots of interesting info too. Go to http://www.healthalkaline.com/WinningByLosingChap7.pdf. I am a balanced oxidizer by the way which is 30% protein, 40%carbs and 30% fat.

Had a wee look at that pdf, looks an interesting read. I'll give it a proper read after work. How are you getting on with the Eat More to Weigh Less

Don't stress out if you don't hit your macros spot on! Just do the best that you can do and enjoy life. After all em2lw gives you the tools to do just that. :drinker:
