Hey Guys,

Can someone please tell me if there is a suggested fat, protein and carb ratio per day? I just signed up with FitDay.com and I love it because it breaks everything out for your daily comsumption after you enter your food and beverage products.

I have scoured my Atkin's book and can't seem to locate this information. I would love some help!!!! Thanks

Hi Tamara,

Sorry that I can't give you an answer to your question.

It can be a bit slow on weekends here, but I'm sure that someone with the answer will be along soon.

i like approx. 70%fat, 20%protein and 5%carb. i usually get pretty close to that!

Debbie,

Thank you for your assistance. How do you get that fat? What foods do you concentrate on? I think I'm much higher on the protein side.

GAD's! I'm way off it that's what we're doing. I am consuming more like a 30% fat, 40% protein and a 30% carb diet! Maybe if I ate more red meat and a higher fat cheese, that might get me up there!

tamara, i have mayo w/my breakfast and my lunch. i have olive oil at dinner usually. i also eat sunflower seeds daily and of course my protein has some fat in it. i figure i get most of my fat from the mayo, olive oil and sunflower seeds.

i love sunflower seeds in salads. they give an extra, salty crunch! plus they're a good source of vitamin E to protecto your heart!

katryding, are you following the zone diet? that sounds very similar to they're ratios.

I've never studied the Zone diet.
Today I had:
Breakfast: alfalfa sprouts, dandelion leaves, low fat jalepeno cheese and two scrambled egg whites wrapped in a red lettuce leaf.
Lunch: three ounces of ham, string cheese, spinach leaves and mixed greens with Ranch dressing and horseraddish on the side.
Snack: 1/2 of a Pink Lady and a slice of smoked salmon
Supper: two chicken breasts wokked without skin or fat, steamed cabbage leaves, broccoli with low fat soy cream and five blueberries.

Maybe I can't add???

I eat a lot of fish and poultry. Red meat a few times a week and usually cheese with most meals.
