    Here is the ratio that works for my female clients who roughly share your body stats:

    Fat: 40-45g
    Carbs: 65-70g
    Protein: 150-160g
    Total Calories: 1300 (a 200 calorie wiggle room to max out at 1500 calories is okay).

    Combine that with a progressive HIIT routine 5 days a week and watch the lbs drop!
