Hi all,
There is so much info online with differing suggestions, so thought I'd ask here too.
What do people feel are the best macro ratios for a female for weight loss (about 20lb of fat to lose) when combined with a moderate cardio and 5day/per week weight lifting routine?

There is no formula - there is only 'average' and guessing and anecdotal evidence of a particular idea. The reason is simple: You are you. You are not whomever-else did it. Perhaps your body requires or needs difference things because of your unique biology. The 'average' person loses x-amount of weight following x-plan doesnt work, in part, because stats wise, 'the average' almost NEVER happens in a group.
I say that no to discourage but to free you from ever feeling "I did what I was suppose to! Why isn't that working??".2 -

With that much activity, I would put protein quite high. Normal suggestion is 0.8-1.2g/lb, fats around 0.4g/lb and then carbs the remainder. Of course, it's whatever you are happy with and will require some experimentation.0
