So, my question is, what are some recommended percentage intakes in terms of fat, carbs, and protein?



a good balance is:

30% protein (meat, beans, nuts, diary), 40-50% carbonates (preferably whole grain) and 20-30% fat (eg. vegetable oil, fish). Don't forget the minerals and vitamins (A,C,E); and lots of water!

Hi Eli, welcome to CC.

rugby! Do you play it or just watch it? You mention having problem to control yourself late at night. Well, that's not uncommon. Is it sugar, or something else?

Count me in, if you want.

Okay im New here so my question is do you have to put down every hour/min. of activity for your day? and if you dont put that your sitting for an hour or walking for 30 mins...does it count calories still being burned through out the day?

Thanks <3 Amanda

In rest your body uses calories too! On average 12-13 kcal per pound (lb) body weight, excluding fat.

Hi Christine, welcome to CC. We share the same obstacle. Anyway, one glass is better than none. Please, encourage your cat to do workouts. Wink You can do 20 pounds in 20 weeks by training for the marathon, for sure.

Weight Loss Is this adequate cardio for now? Jun 01 2009

That is fantastic. Take care to maintain your body tissue; in your diet you should have enough protein for that. If you lose about a pound per week, your diet is fine. Exercise will make your body system burn more fat (and use protein of your tissue, if your intake is low).
The calories needed daily for the body at rest is 13 kcal for each pound of body weight, excluding your body fat. Say, your body fat % is 30, leaving 70% net weight. Then, the amount of calories, required for a body in rest, is: 0.7x13xbody weight .

Hi San, you must be like the name of your favorite movie, keep that in mind. Cheese is my favorite snack, but be careful here! "Leerdammer" cheese is low fat (it has holes in it Laughing) and quite tasty; you should try it if you can get it, over there.

Well, calories you can count for sure on this site. Looking forward to your plans to reach your goal. One pound  loss per week would be a good plan. Mind your workouts!

Good luck, Mel
