Ok...I'm curious...and maybe many don't even think about it or eat a certain way...but what do you crave/lean towards more?
Now, unless I'm on a given diet...this is how I choose to eat on a regular basis and % might not be 100% correctly guessed but you'll get what I mean:32 (20):


Protein - 80 %

Carbs - 15 %

Fat - 5 %

I've been eating pretty balanced lately. Not exact, but 1/3 protein, 1/3 carb, 1/3 fat.

I've leaned more towards a higher fat diet for the past couple of years....especially if I'm dieting. I find higher fat diets to be more satiating and help to decrease my appetite so as long as my total calories are in check I still lean out.

I love meat too, but keeping the carbs & fat that low for a length of time. That would be painful for me...LOL

When I cut (drop fat Seek) I will set a calorie goal & shoot for 200g or more protein. It's usually 40-45 Protein, 40-45 carbs then fats make the rest.

I guess I'm lucky about low carbs...doesn't bother me at all and the way our bodies are different..I keep fat really low due to how it affects me...

On keto my macros look like this:

Protein - 30%
Fats - 65%
Carbs - 5%

But on my regular conservative permabulk (vertical diet) they look like this:

Protein - 30%
Fats - 20%
Carbs - 50%

I actually shoot for 35% protein, but usually hit 30%.

IDK, if you didnt have any carbs, sugars or simple sugars you might be surprised.

Lol sugars aren’t even in my diet...besides sugar in real fruit..and berries and apples are all I eat :)

I've been on a calorie deficit since January (2000ish) - dropped about 15lbs - macros were around 65% protein, 25% carbs and 10% fat..the last two weeks I switched to maintenance because I found myself snacking a lot during the day. I may just bump up food intake and throw in some extra cardio. I missed eating.

Jen, out of all the different types of carbs/sugars, fructose can almost instantly take you out of ketosis... Thats probably why keto hasnt worked for you in the past. Unfortunately, to make the high fat work, you have to skip the fructose entirely and only take in a little bit of dextrose or sucrose. And the carbs have to be around 5% (or under 50 grams).

That's all ball park but the protein never goes lower. I do love my carbs.

I really don’t know on this one, I can say it’s mostly protein, I try to keep it fairly low carb except for after workouts.

Best guess would be like 70% protein, 20 fat and 10 carbs.....no freaking clue how close that is lol

lol...never tried keto and never will dear..I’m lucky that I don’t have to do “actual” known food diets..I know my body so well..I know exactly what to eat to look the way I like:)

I haven’t even trained since December and I don’t even have extra fat or skin on my ab area...I’m lucky but I also take care of business cuz fat grosses me the fuuuck out lol
