Amount of fat protein and carbs

[dlfjr1 2]

I was wondering how many grams of fat, carbs, & Protein I should be getting on 1450 calories?

What does your NUT say?

NUT is a good idea, but the OP may not have a NUT. I suggest you go online to Myfitnesspal.com and start a free account. You can set up your calories and play with the percentages of fats/protein/carbs and it will tell you how many grams it comes to.

^^True...I didn't even think about that.

Generally, I try to maintain a 40/30/30 split...40% of cals in Protein, and 30% each for carbs & healthy fats. I aim for 1000 cals a day, so that works out to about 100g Protein, 75 g carbs, & 33 g fat.

I would suggest if you subscribe to the carbohydrates leads to insulin release which leads to fat retention that you...

Limit carbs to 70 or less grams per day

Aim for 100-120grams of Protein

Aim to fill in the balance of calories with fat (about 80g fat)

This should be pretty appetite suppressing as the Protein and the fat will keep you feeling full and steady in energy.

Can you give me an example of your average 40/30/30?
