I've started tracking my food consumption. I realize I need to hit the grocery store tomorrow. Schedule's too tight to get to the gym today :-(

I'm guessing we'll find out more tomorrow, but what's our recommended % for carbs, fat and protein? Want to set it up in MFP so that it shows correctly. I think this might be one of my biggest challenges - not total calories but WHAT i'm eating. One day's tracking revealed too much fat and not enough protein I'm pretty sure. Thx!0

We are going to try to make those calculations as simple as possible because past Paleo presentations became so complicated, people got overwhelmed. Depending on what your goals are:
- Fat loss: carbs less than 100 - 150 g/day
- Building muscle: increasing protein to 1.5 - 2x/g per body weight
That's all the info I have on it, but Jason is an expert. Another thing might be to be aware of amount of fat in foods you can eat, such as nuts, and substituting that for something lower in fat (even though it's a good fat). We're all probably not taking in enough protein!0
