    What % should we strive for on fitday?

    I just subscribed to fitday to keep a more accurate measure of my eating. What %'s should we be striving for? Thanks

    If I'm not mistaken, the percentages are 65% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.

          Just to add, those percentages are for induction. The ratios will change as you move to OWL and beyond.

              Remember, if you are going vegetarian, your fats will be higher because of the added dairy and eggs.
