40% fat 35% protein 25% carbs. with non processed/non messed with foods

[Naer]

anyone who don't exercise other than walking have this ratio? how is it working for you? This is assuming you intermittent fast

 

[Naer]

.let me change that ratio to 40% fat 45% protein 15% carbs.

Why the 45% protein if not exercising (assuming 2000kcal/day)? Why any carbs at all, since its not an essential nutrient?

Fat and carbs are fuel - intake should depend on how much energy you expend. Protein is a building block - intake should depend on how much tissue you want to grow or repair.

What's your goal?

 

[Zivic]

I do alright on
40 pro
30 fat
30 carb..

but then again I am genetically enhanced and lift 7 days a week

I do 33/33/33, lift 3 days, soccer 1 day.

40/35/25 would be fine if you could actually stick to it.

Good luck with only 25% carbs though. That is a very tough task.

My current carb requirement on IIFYM is 19%. My brain says yes but the donut in my hand says no

Wow, 19%, why so low? You must be using the Low Carb plan.

I also do IIFYM, but mine is 35/34/32.
I rounded it out to 33/33/33 for simplicity.

The American diet has become so carb heavy, most people have no idea how many they are really eating.
My limit is 150/day. You can get that very quickly on the typical fast food/pre-packaged food American diet.
A bowl of cereal with milk gets you half way there.
