Target amount of Carbs, Fat, Protein?



Recommended Posts

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?

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

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
