Healthy calorie mix for active person...

I guess you have to find out what works for you to give you the energy you need while not leaving you bloated feeling. Good luck!!

I'm trying to stay around 2,200 calories so that means my typical day is about 20% protein, 25% fat and 55% carbs. A fairly large challenge is getting enough protein without getting it from sources high in fat. I'm learning to like fish!!
