Ratio of fat/protien/something else....

[FloydSeamus]

I've seen somewhere that there is a certain ration of the above mentioned that you should be sticking 2. Can anyone let me know what that ratio is?

[CherTLC4u]

Fat: 65%
Protien: 30%
Carbs: 5%


Good luck!! :joy

I have a question.. how important is this balance.. because yesterday I checked and I was 60% Protein 36% Fat and 4% Carb... I can keep my carb count down because I know I have an allotted # of Carbs.. but can a fluctuation of Protein and Fat sink you?

It doesn't have to be EXACTLY 65, 30, 5. Some days one eats more fats, others more proteins, etc. etc. So long as it averages to those %s and your staying under 20 grams of carbs while on induction, you'll be ok.

Take some time and read the stickys!! :yes

Here's one about Fitday that talks about the ratios as well.
