Percentages

[kristianne35]

Can someone tell me the proper percentages of calories, fat, carbs, etc that we should be aiming for on fitday? I want to see if I am on track.

Thank you!

Hi Kristi For induction the percentages we aim for are as follows...


65 % calories from fat
30 % calories from Protein
5% calories from carbohydrates

this sounds like a lot of fat but as fat is a calorie dense food you dont need to eat a huge amount of it to get to these percentages. ONce you get into OWL and start to add more carbs your fat percentage will come down.
Hope this helps! goodluck
