    Hey

    Everyone is different and depending on your weight and goals etc... the % are different.

    I have attached a website below that is full of information and will help you calculate you own personal % of fat, proteins, and Carbs.

    Hope this helps

    Diets with 30 or 35% calories from protein usually do better than lower protein levels for weight loss and muscle retention.

    Some studies show a benefit from calcium, it's worth trying a supplement as I can't see a downside and they're cheap enough.
