Target amount of Carbs, Fat, Protein?

I was wondering for those of you who track their calories and such. What is your target amount of Protein, Carbs and Fat?

I have been looking at my Fitday pie chart and I know its not where I want fat is the highest and protein the lowest but I was wondering how many grams of each people are shooting for?

I track the following:

calories < 1300

Protein > 70

fat < 43

Fiber > 15

This works for me and I am losing. I do not track carbs. as I am not eating any thing that is not whole grain. It is hard to get all the protein and balance the rest.

Good luck.

My calories range from 900-1300 or so. Sometimes I go under (like 700-800) and sometimes over (up to 1500) but overall it's within the range.

My carbs are always very high, like 50-90 grams, but I eat a lot of soy products which have higher carbs that meat Proteins. I seem to be fine.

My fiber ranges from 8-12 a day.

I try to get to 60 grams of Protein, and am able to do that pretty easily by eating protein first at every meal.

Fat is always high, and I really don't know why since I keep to low fat foods only! I have been having some avocado, salmon or olive oil, which I consider "good" fats, but still increases the fat intake.

I keep track of it all on calorieking.com and am super happy with that website. I love calorieking because it organizes a lot of data for you. It organized my last two weeks and gave me my daily averages and breakdowns for two weeks.

calories: 922

fat: 39

carbs: 75

protein: 67

fiber: 9

it also includes averages of Calcium, sodium, Iron, etc.

My Dr. says for Women about ~

  • 50-90 grams a day for Protein
  • 60 Grams a day or less of Carbs
  • 30 Grams or less a day for Fats

I'm trying to stay at 1000 calories per day
