And here is the answer for sugars: There's no established RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for sugar, because as far as it's known, we don't need sugar for nutrition. All foods have some natural sugars, but sugar itself—the white or brown stuff we put in our cookies, is a purely optional taste sensation. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) recommends that sugar make up no more than 8% of the daily intake of calories, but most American adults take in twice that much. It's an easy thing to do when a single can of soda pop contains more than 10 teaspoons of sugar! |

Well I found the answer to my own question: http://www.netrition.com/rdi_page.html
I don't see sugars listed though. Also does anyone know which are okay to exceed and which are not? |

| Weight Loss | Proper ratio of Carbs, Protein and Fat for me??? | Mar 10 2008 20:44 (UTC) |

| Thanks for the article Suzi. According to the test I am a "fast oxidizer" and should aim for a ratio of 50% protein, 20% carbs and 30% fat. I'm curious how a person's activity level effects the proper ratio. And more to the point, how does a person's choice of activity effect this ratio? It seems like fitness goals should play a bigger role in a person's diet than a generic metabolic type. Thoughts??? | |||

| Define high? Are we saying 50% of my diet should come from protein and 30% from carbs? What is the proper ratio? | |||
