I'm around 8 stone and would like to build muscle. On average how much protein and carbs would I need. Healthy fats are very important for my wellbeing so I may have to tweak amounts slightly but a rough guide or advice on the best place to start. I am a 36 year old female at 5ft 3, petite frame, already lean apart from abdominal area. I walk lots and have access to things to help build strength and muscle. As for meals the healthier and more natural the better

120-125g of protien
45g of fat
Fill the remainder with carbs would be reasonable targets assuming you are carnivorous.
