Terry Lincoln got a reaction from Frustr8 in Percentages of Protein Carbs, Fat September 30, 2018

I'm setting up the goals in My Fitness Pal manually. Has anyone come up with an ideal ratio for Protein, carb, fat intake?

I have used this app for over two years now. I would be lost without it! To get the numbers correct, I adjusted the percent of fat, Protein and carbs to match the grams of Protein I needed to eat at the time. I really only pay a lot of attention to protein since that is the most important one for me to track (that and calories – I also keep a close eye on those). I have adjusted the percent depending on where I have been at in my journey. Currently I am at 50% Carbs, 30% Protein, and 20% Fat. But I am approaching two years out and have lost all of my excess weight (I have a normal BMI). I am working on weight maintenance now. 30% Protein gives me the range I need to maintain for my protein intake.
MFP has helped me lose 210 pounds and I am maintaining that loss with its help. My husband, who did not have WLS has lost 50 pounds using the App. I believe that this is the best weight loss tool I have ever found – and its FREE!
Best of luck to you!
