[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at it through percentages does not make much sense. You need to hit a minimum protein number ([b]about 0.8g per lb of weight[/b]) a minimum fat number (about 40g for women for hormonal health) and from there it is all personal preference. Looking at what you posted, your protein looks low and fat high, but it also all depends on the total calories you are eating. [/quote] Note: weight is your ideal weight, not where you are now, if you are trying to lose weight. For me, I'm 156 but my goal is 144lbs so my protein is 115g per day.[/quote] Ideal weight often does not make much sense. 115 at 156 is pretty low when dieting. It is better to keep protein high to ensure you maintain muscle mass. Except for very obese individual 0.8g/1lb is a good guideline and 1g/1lb is preferable for already lean individuals when dieting.
