Does anyone know what is a reasonable carb-protein-fat ratio for a low-carb high-protein diet?

    I do 30/10/60 protein/carbs/fat
  • I aim for 35% protein/ 10% carbs/55% fats. Its very individual, trial and error, I'm still learning and tweaking to find what is sustainable and works for my body.

    220g protein, 85 g fat, sub 20g carbs took 30lb off me quickly last year and as my weight dropped I cut some protein out.

    It worked well for me considering, but now I m on prescribed testosterone I seem to be losing fat and gaining strength and muscle in all the right places just eating sensibly. ( my start point was 21% bodyfat )

    A big thumbs up for the medical profession for solving my weight gain problem and its good to know it wasn't down to my own greed !
