what is your carb/protein/fat ratio?

ETA: interesting ratios going on here. I see mine is the minority here, lol.0 -

It's not the ratio that dictates your rate of weight loss. Generally, it's the amount of caloric energy you consume. Healthy whole foods will give an advantage over processed packaged foods.
My ratio is C:80%, P:10-15%, F:5-10%
I eat potatoes, rice and beans all day and still lose weight.0 -
One of my biggest frustrations with MFP is their insistence on percentages for every macronutrient. I wish wish wish wish wish they would allow for you to set fixed numbers for certain macros, and set the remainder accordingly. Percentages work horribly for me, personally, and for most people I know who are lifters first and foremost.0

.8g of protein/lb body weight which for me is ~100g
.55g of protein/lb body weight which for me is ~70g
I fill in the rest with carbs...usually 200+ grams, a lot more depending on exercise.
I don't go by percentages. My goal is to fill my protein and fat requirements and fill in the rest with carbs. The more I exercise the more carbs I have which is exactly what I need with exercse.0 -
35% carbs, 35% fat, 30% protein. It works well for me and my weight loss. I don't lose with a larger carb intake--I gain.0

There is no perfect ratio. Protein should be 1 gram per pound of Lean Body Mass (LBM). For women this is 100-110 grams; if you know your body fat percentage you can calculate exactly. Fat should be 25-30% of total calories and the balance to carbs.
If your calorie goal is 1750 per day:
Protein: 440 calories or 25% (rounded to nearest 5%)
Fat: 437 calories or 25%
Carbs: 873 calories or 50%
Your protein requirement in grams stays the same (unless you're training for a body building competition). The other macros will need to be recalculated as you reduce your weight and calorie limit.0 -

25% carbs, 30% proteins, 45% fats = 2500 calories during cut. Sometimes I'll have higher carbs depending on what types of snacks I eat.0

I try to follow Hal Higdon's marathon training plan since I run a lot and do want to train for a marathon eventually: 15% to 20% protein, 30% fat and 50% to 55% carbs...it seems to work for me, but everyone is a unique individual and what works for one, won't for another...0

Seems like it's working for me!0 -
C 40%, P 40%, and fat 20%....but I like a high protein diet so its all good! I try to stick to complex carbs and the natural carbs from fruits and veggies. Works for me..0

What I did was set my macros to the minimums that I need to meet for Protein and Fat and put the rest as carbs. My cals are also set on TDEE so I have a good estimate of my actual deficit as opposed to the deficit from an already lower intake.
So really the only macros that are accurate for me are 25% of TDEE Protein and 35% of TDEE in fat... when in all reality that is actually 138g protein and 86g of fat which I usually meet or exceed and fill in the rest with carbs (up to 1500-1700 calories total).0 -
Carbs - 45%
Protein - 20%
Fat - 35%0 -

Seems like it's working for me!
Exactly the same macros as I am set to.0
