Question

Ideal Percentages of Fat & Protein

Hi Everyone

Can anyone give me any idea of what sort of percentag of fat and protein I should be striving for? When I enter my food on Fitday.com the fat percentage seems quite high. It was over 50% yesterday. I am also trying to up my calorie intake and try not increasing carbs

Your percentages should be roughly:
70% fat (YES, 70%!!)
25% protein
5% carbs

If you're trying to get your cals up, slather on the butter, cream cheese, olive oil and/or mayonnaise!!

Enjoy!!

Hi Teri

.

Thanks for that. I never thought I'd have the problem of not eating enough calories
