What are good ratios of carbs, fat, protein to lose weight healthily?
Looking at "trends" on Cronometer for the last 7 days, I get average of 2050 calories (interesting to me is that the Mayo Clinic calorie calculator says this is what I need to maintain my current weight).
Carbs: 246 g
Protein: 88 g
Fat: 66 g.
How does that look? Is it too much fat?
I eat cheese (low fat and regular), 1% milk, Greek yogurt, 2% cottage cheese, a little half½ coffee, sugar, gelatin, occasional eggs; potatoes, banana, carrot, vinegar/evoo dressing. Lately I've had 1/4-1/2 c. ice cream at night but I think I will cut it out because it wears off in 2 hours and I need more sugar before bed. I have been eating chocolate but might be due to luteal phase craving. Meat usually just once per day. A few prunes sometimes. Or other fruit. Oysters and liver about once weekly. Somedays I barely get any starch, other days I eat it in form of sourdough or other bread (as in a sandwich), or my homemade pizza crust or 1/2 c. pasta.
Any suggestions on what to tweak for some fat loss?
Everytime I think I'm finally starting to lose some, I just go back up. The only thing I'm relieved about is that I seem to have managed to stop the continuous climb up the scale.
I lift weight 3 x week and walk at least 3 x week.
Thanks.
