Please check my ratios for Atkins

This is my first day putting my food into fitday. It was a bit challenging LOL. These are the results, methinks calories are too low (good to know) but how are the other ratios? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated; I'm struggling to find the right balance! K

Hi gracecame! I would increase me fat (70%) if I were you. Two to three tablespoons of olive oil should help do that. This will help bring your calories up as well which you need.

Hiya!
I would increase calories to either:
1470 (10X your goal weight)...OR up to
1764 (12X goal weight)
or anywhere in between.
Increase fat to 70%

Rest looks good/ 18 net grams carbs...A-OK!

Best wishes to all;
Jake

Thanks for your comments, I should have plugged into fitday sooner I guess.

Two surprises for me: 4 carbs in 1 cup shredded cabbage (I make coleslaw) and 4 carbs in 5 shelled peanuts! WOW! :daze:
