[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Standard macros for losing weight are 40% carbs/30% protein/30% fat while being in a calorie deficit. But this can vary slightly from person to person and also depends on how much physical activity you're doing. Search online for a TDEE & macro calculator and you can adjust based on your fitness goals. [/quote]

There are no standard macros for fat loss. You need to hit minimum protein, minimum fat and from there it is all personal preference. And of course a calorie deficit is non-negotiable if fat loss is the goal. [/quote]

You add zero value to the conversation by being pedantic. Substitute the word generic for standard, there is lots of research that supports this. Feel better now?[/quote]

Genetic does not change anything and actually there is plenty of research showing that at the same deficit the ratio of fat to carbs is irrelevant to fat loss. Hitting protein is important to prevent muscle loss and at least 40g of fat per day is recommended for females to ensure hormonal health. From there it really does not matter. And this is an answer to OP’s question. On the other hand I am not sure what you added with your contribution.[/quote]
