The three primary food categories, protein, carbs, and fat, are known as macros. There are three ways to balance these: Drop the fat and increase the carbs; distribute them by percentage (40/30/30); or drop the carbs and increase the protein and fat. Here are the pros and cons of each. Low fat/high carb: If youâre trying to get rid of body fat, you have to reduce calories; the most efficient way to do that is to lower fat, since it has the highest caloric density. One gram of fat has nine calories, whereas one gram of protein or carbs has only four calories.
A good starting off point for the average individual is 50% carbs, 20% protein and 30% fat. If youâre more active, you may want to up the carbs to 55% or 60%. You can set your carb, protein and fat percentage goals in the your FitWatch Calorie Tracker by going to Goals main page.
