What is the recommended amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat to eat?
Regardless of how many calories you consume, generally speaking it is suggested to consume approximately 55-60% of calories as carbohydrate, 15-20% as protein and 25-30% as fat, with no more than 10% of this from saturated fats. These ratios may vary slightly depending on your activity level or specific goals to gain or lose weight. For a precise calculation of your needs, visit a registered dietitian who can assist you.
