PFC Percentage Ratios

[SarahC]

Has anyone here worked with the percentage ratios between Proteins, Fats and Carbs for low-carbers?

No can you explain what it is. Make it simple for me to get it.

Hi Sarah!

And if I were to guess at a "normal PFC ideal", it would be about 50%/30%/20%.

However, the only thing we count is net carb intake.
There is no need for a ratio to be successful with FTS.

However, common sense is always a good idea.

When faced with the choice of lean or fat, go with lean.
Eat plenty of leafy green veggies.
Drink lots of plain water.
And watch sugar alcohols.

Well, I don't want to open a can of worms here (all protein), I was just curious if anyone was having success with it. Sweeties, it's just watching to see how much of what you eat in a day is protein, how much is fat and how much is carbs. I read an article about it online - someone said they had stopped losing weight and someone else said that the ratio between the protein to fat was off and I was curious if it fit in here. I'm kind of experimenting with it. I'll let you know if I have a Eureka! or anything. I haven't noticed any great breakthrough yet.

Don't make it difficult on yourself Sarah, just stay under 20 carbs per day and enjoy a good mix of proteins, fats and low carb veggies.
