Paleo Nutrient Balance

I'm starting to eat Paleo again after about 6 months of "fallen off the wagon". I'm wondering if anyone knows good nutrient guidelines (for fibre, fat and protein intake) so I can program my goals accordingly. I really don't like seeing all that red, even though I know fat and protein intake for the Paleo diet is normally much higher than the regular "dieting" guidelines.

If you don't know, Paleo is basically going back to natural eating, avoiding the foods of the agricultural revolution of 9000 years ago. Foods to avoid: all grains, all legumes, sugar, processed meats and other foods, and going for organic/local as much as possible.

    My macros are 65% fat, 20% protein, 15% carbs. Post this in the Paleo/Primal support group. You'll get a better response than on this forum.

    Mine are set at 10% carbs, 60% fat, 30% protein. I usually end up closer to 15/60/25, though.

    There are no set macro's for our ancestral brothers and sisters, it's up to you.
