What is the recommended macronutrient ratio?
There are several theories on the correct proportion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. In general, the body requires all three macronutrients to perform basic and vital functions. However, each person’s individual requirements may be different based on factors including activity level, genetics, age, etc. For most people, an equal balance of calories from each macronutrient is recommended. An example would be a meal consisting of 25 grams of protein (100 calories), 25 grams of carbohydrates (100 calories) and 11 grams of fat (99 calories).
