Percentage of fat, protein, carb?
Is there a standard recommend ratio of protein to fat to carb on Atkins? I read a metabolic diet book that recommended 50% protein, 25% fat, 25% carb for my body type. Is that similar to Atkins?
|
Generally preferred ratios for Atkins are: 65% fat, 30% protein and 5% carbs.

Thanks for the info. Is that in DANDR somewhere?

I don't think so....??? I have read it many times on the bulletin boards....maybe someone else can locate the reference to this?

I think those ratios came from trial and error from people here on the forum. I seem to remember Karen or Doreen saying that this seems to be what works for the majority of people here. It is what I shot for and it also worked for me.

I had not seen this. Thanks Slim!

I don't like fat that much so I tend to end up with 52% fat, 40% protein, 8% carb. But yeah, I think everyone is gonna be 50-70% fat, 2-10% carb, 25-40% protein if they are on Atkins, not on maintenance.
