wow. How do you all get that much protein? I'm stuggling at 20% protein. What do you eat if you are near the end of the day and need a hit of protein but not carbs/fat?0

Add more throughout the day. Eggs. Protein shakes/bars/recipes. Raw nuts. Cottage cheese or high protein yogurt. More meat! Edamame.0

My C-F-P ratio is currently 50-30-20 because I'm doing cardio exclusively. As I start to incorporate strength training, I will tweak by slowly taking from carbs to give to protein until I find an optimal mix (e.g. 40-30-30).0

Plain nonfat Greek yogurt on a bed of lettuce and a bit of salsa to jazz it up. Hardly registers on the carbs and fat.0 -

Protein is extremely misunderstood. If getting more protein gave us bigger muscles, we could take a protein pill and have Arnold biceps. When you stress your muscles with lifting, your bodily systems find the protein stores. You just need enough to sustain you, since the liver sluffs off the extra anyway.
15% is enough for most people if you are eating adequate calories.
Lowfat is 15% or less. No added oil, no cheese. Anything else is a fatty diet.0 -
35/30/35. Nice and balanced0
-
40 c / 30 p / 30 f, tend to get closer to 30/35/35... I'm usually low on the carbs0
-
I had to check because I think more in terms of actual quantities than percentages. Like I know off the top of my head that I try to get 140g of protein and 50g of fat a day, with the rest carbs.
Looking at my goal settings, it's 35/35/30 carb/protein/fat. When I go to maintenance mode it'll be more like 50/25/25 or 40/30/30.0 -

Not everyone eats higher protein for building muscle, in fact at a calorie deficit, you are sure not to build it anyway.
Nah, I eat higher protein, 45/20/35 abouts, to control cravings. And it works.0
