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.
Healthy Proteins. Many protein foods are naturally carb-and sugar-free. But not all protein foods make good choices. Some are high in fat and saturated fat, such as bacon and cheese. Try to include healthier protein options, such as lean red meat, white-meat poultry, seafood, eggs, tofu and low-fat cheese.
