Hi all – just started this, have bought the book but can’t find what I’m looking for.

I am using My Fitness Pal for calorie counting – when setting my goals, what proportion of each am I looking for? I have found the bit of the book that says 45g protein per day for a female, which is about 50% macronutrients – how do I split remaining 50% between carbs and fat?

I’m doing the quick version of diet if this makes a difference?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve found similar problem same app my fitness pal says 52% carbs yet followed all food advice,today only fish oats cereal chicken (small amount)
It says no carbs on this diet doesn’t it ?
Where are they coming from
Also what do we do for roughage ?
Cheers folks Alan

Hi Alanhypo – it does not say no carb, but low carbs. I aim for 60g a day carbs, many on the forum aim for under 50g per day as that definitely pushes you into fat-burning mode.

That’s great thanks so much for that ,so if I’m on 52 grams I’m not doing bad .
Couple hours before bedtime tho !!!!!
Ever find yourself just staring into the fridge 😋

52 grams is fine. A cup of tea with a little milk in an hours time won’t blow the budget nor will a couple of almonds or a small piece of feta cheese!
I worked out after week one that I needed a little put aside for picking at during the day and I took it off the days budget before I planned the meals. I don’t need it now, but it helped for the first few weeks.
Turn staring into the fridge into a ‘planning for tomorrow session’ 🙂

Hi Florene05
Welcome. Look at my post on Fast 800 forum, Topic : Variations in Fast 800 posted at 5.52 am today to Natalie.
Original carb fat & protein amounts extrapolated from shakes info. You can work out what you want from that.
Good luck
