This is my first time attempting low carb.
I'm 22, 5'3, 200 pounds.

I've kinda just been going with it but I'm starting to question myself,
should my protein or fat be higher??
I've been managing to stay under 30g of carbs a day which is a lot better than my usual 150+
And my calories are set at 1,500 and I usually eat about 1300-1500.
Thank you!

    Try it for a week or two and see how it goes. I think protien should be higher then fat. If your trying to get into ketosis staying under 30 grams of carbs will get you there even if your eating more then the other.

    Fat should be highest, then protein, then carbs. 30g of carbs a day should get you into ketosis just fine. Check out the Low Carber Daily Forum group.

    I agree with @castlerobber , Fats then protein then carbs. Think of your macros this way: you carb level is a max you don't want to go over, your protein level is a goal to hit and eat fat to satiety. Don't be afraid of the fat, it gives food flavor while helping you stay satisfied and fight cravings. Take a look at the Low Carb Daily Forum for some terrific information and very supportive people. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group
