What is the proper ratio of carbohydrates proteins and fats?

Answer 1

so take just 5-8% carbohydrate..and protein 25% or little bit more.

much corbohydrate some bad for healthy too.

because lot of them bad carbohydrate then a good.

Answer 2

Protein - approx. 50 to 70 grams = 12-20% of calories Carbs - approx. 125 to 350-400 grams = 55-65% of calories Fats - approx. 30 to 65 grams = 25-30% of calories For a 2000-calorie diet, its 50 grams of protein, 300 grams of carbs, and 65 grams of fats (only 20 grams should be saturated) per day. Cholesterol should be 300 mg per day (based on 2000-calorie diet). Hope that helps! YourLiveTrainers.com

Claims about the merits or risks of carbohydrate (CHO) vs. protein for weight loss diets are extensive, yet the ideal ratio of dietary carbohydrate to protein for adult health and weight management remains unknown. This study examined the efficacy of two weight loss diets with modified CHO/protein ratios to change body composition and blood lipids in adult women. Women (n = 24; 45 to 56 y old) with body mass indices >26 kg/m2 were assigned to either a CHO Group consuming a diet with a CHO/protein ratio of 3.5 (68 g protein/d) or a Protein Group with a ratio of 1.4 (125 g protein/d). Diets were isoenergetic, providing 7100 kJ/d, and similar amounts of fat (50 g/d). After consuming the diets for 10 wk, the CHO Group lost 6.96 ± 1.36 kg body weight and the Protein Group lost 7.53 ± 1.44 kg. Weight loss in the Protein Group was partitioned to a significantly higher loss of fat/lean (6.3 ± 1.2 g/g) compared with the CHO Group (3.8 ± 0.9). Both groups had significant reductions in serum cholesterol (10%), whereas the Protein Group also had significant reductions in triacylglycerols (TAG) (21%) and the ratio of TAG/HDL cholesterol (23%). Women in the CHO Group had higher insulin responses to meals and postprandial hypoglycemia, whereas women in the Protein Group reported greater satiety. This study demonstrates that increasing the proportion of protein to carbohydrate in the diet of adult women has positive effects on body composition, blood lipids, glucose homeostasis and satiety during weight loss.

Answer 4

Depends on your individual body type and what you are trying to accomplish. For example, if you are trying to loss fat and build muscle one would eat probably a 40:40:20 ratio. Meaning 40% Carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fats. However, if you aren't working out and breaking the muscle that, that ratio is intended to repair the excess protein is just going to make your kidneys work harder. For just maintaining a healthy lifestyle one would suggest a 60:20:20 diet or a 60:25:15 diet.

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

Carbohydrates: 0-?%

Protein: 20-25%

Fats: 25-?%

Amino acids and lipids are essential for the human body to function properly. Carbohydrates are non-essential to the human body. This makes a certain amount of fats and proteins needed in your diet, while the amount of carbohydrates is based on your preference.

Answer 6

There are many varying theories on what proportion of protein, fats and carbohydrates we should be eating to attain a balanced diet. The website at sparkpeople.com does give one scientific breakdown of the percentages which may be of interest to you.

Answer 7

Carbohydrates: 45% to 65% of your diet.
