Is there a daily percentage ratio that Adkins suggests regarding fat, carbs and protein...? I started the fitday program yesterday and would like to stay within my guidelines....

hi,

65% fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbohydrates. Seems to be the ratio recommended by most on this forum.

good luck on your weight loss voyage.

If the ratio is around : 65% fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbohydrates

I think I have been eating too much fat and not enough protein..Yikes

I started on Wednesday.

I have been using fitday.com to calculate my calories and my carb grams:

Day 1: 2222 calories; Total Carbs 16 g Net Carbs 12 g ; Protein 153 g (27%), Fat 174 g (70%)

Day 2: 1523 calories; Total Carbs 26 g, Net Carbs 19 g ; Protein 85 g (23%), Fat 121 g (72%)

Day 3: 1314 calories; Total Carbs 26 g, Net Carbs 19 g ; Protein 69 g (21%), Fat 106 g (73%)
What do you guys think? Appreciate some advice.

Don't sweat it Red. You're doing just fine. I've had days where the fat % was over 83%! Mine are usually around 70-75% fat.

Lots of people think the higher the fat the better, the ratio of fat for the fat fast, is 70-90% fat.

Has anyone read Atkins for Life and does Atkins address the ratios issue, or could you tell what the ratios are for some of the menus in the book ?
