You didn't say how much protein/fat you're actually getting, but if you're regularly splitting typical sized portions of meat, I can guess it's probably on the low side of things....you might want to look into less expensive protein sources--eggs, tuna, liver (super cheap and so good for you, though I know it's hard for some people to do), full fat dairy if you're including dairy, perhaps look in to various protein powders if you think that is a good way to go. Though I really think whole foods are best, period. Are you eating avocados? They are great for a nice little boost of protein and healthy fats, and so good for you!

Fats shouldn't be too difficult to get enough of--besides the fats in meats, eggs, and whole dairy if you include that, you should also be cooking with healthy fat sources--coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, butter, lard, bacon grease, meat drippings, etc. Use those good fats as condiments too--butter, coconut oil, olive oil on your veggies, yummy oil/vinegar dressings for your salads, etc. I make my own mayonnaise which is FANTASTIC. And I really hated mayo before I made it at home--totally different when it's the homemade variety. And that is a fat bomb....I use it for salad dressings, topping burgers, tuna or chicken salads, etc.

I try to get over 116 grams of protein a day to retain my lean body mass muscle (1gram of protein per lb of lean body mass). Just do what you can with what you have. I'd definitely try to get additional protein if you can tolerate dairy using greek yogurt but only slightly up your protein. Do you do a lot of strength training? If so, and depending on your lean body mass and goals, you might want to up the protein just slightly. Why is your protein goal so high at 244 grams? That's really excessive. The protein will act as carbohydrates will in your body (glycogen) and it's difficult for your liver and kidneys with that much protein anyway.

As for the mayo, try Melissa Joulwan's recipe on theclothesmakethegirl.com (http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2012/08/19/mayo-how-to-video/). I use her recipe exclusively for mayo and have never had it turn out badly. I experiment with different flavor additions but my favorites are sundried tomato mayo and dill mayo (for fish).

The standard Paleo ratio is 60/20/20 fat/protein/carbs. Your fat should always be where you're getting most of your calories, even by percentage and not calorie counts.

I don't know that I would trust a formula that didn't incorporate lean body mass and current body percentage into the equation. Give me a few hours (going to hot yoga) and I'll help you figure out your macros more accurately.

No.

Mostly fat, light on the carbs unless you really need them. Post-workout.

Done.

This thread was very helpful! I changed my ratios to 60/20/20 (f/c/p) as well and think I'll be able to get enough fat and protein with some added dairy!

It's really okay to go over your protein amount. If you're under, I'd suggest adding a whey protein powder to your diet. They are an easy way to add protein and give me my chocolate fix!
