Carb/protein/fat percentage for weight loss?

I'm pretty sure the most recommended ration is:

40% Protein
30% Carbs
30% Fat

...but I'm sure if that's incorrect, someone will point you in the right direction.

This is what mine's been set for. But I don't think it's the most common or most often recommended. I'd bet on here lots of folks would say 40/30/30 but have the 40 for carbs.

As far as I know it sort of comes down to preference, and what you're going for (If you're trying to lose and tone, you'll want more protein.). I try to transfer the "dinner plate" idea onto my percentages.
They say your plate should be 1/2 veg, 1/4 starch, and 1/4 protein.
Put into the pie chart this tends to end up meaning that carbs are a big percentage, since vegetables have a decent amount of carbs.
Fat I try not to necessarily limit, but I also don't want it to be the biggest chunk in the chart. As long as it's not a whole bunch of saturated fat, I don't put much thought into it.

Then again I love carbs, and this is how I'm able to stick to my diet better =]
As long as you work out your calories properly it's up to you.
As far as I know.

As a basic guide, eat 20-35 percent of calories as fat; 45-65 percent of calories as carbohydrate and 10-35 percent of calories in the form of protein. The most important is that your eating the right types of carbs (complex only), protein (lean), and fats (non hydrogynated). If your trying to build more muscle eat more protein. A good refernce is the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno

You need to eat as much protein as possible to limit muscle loss while losing fat. Most plans that I've seen that include weight lifting suggest you eat about one gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight. A gram of protein is about 4 calories, then you should split your carbs and fats about evenly. For me, it breaks down to about 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fat, which is pretty typical. MFP severly underestimates daily protein intake, so don't go by that.

Try to consume about 1900 calories a day for healthy weight loss. Out of that
Protein = 40%
Carbs = 30%
Fat. = 30%
1 gallon of water per day. Add 2 lemons to it for liver cleansing and great fat loss. You will thank lemons later.

Most important DO NOT eat carbs or fat at dinner or last meal. You can replace that with protein shake or bar or salmon or chicken breast meat.
Recommended: walk briskly on a treadmill or outside for 30 mins, it will burn approximately 200-300 calories. By doing that you are taking off about 500 calories from your diet everyday. In a month it is:
500 x 30 = 15000 calories.
1 pound (lbs) = 3500 calories.
Weight loss in 1 month = 4.25 lbs.
Thats just rough idea. It all depends on your efforts.
I hope it helps and answer your question.
Stay positive and continue your journey toward better health.
