“Protein intake, something like a gram per pound of body weight per day is a good idea for most people looking for near optimum results.”
Fat intake can range anywhere below 0.3 grams per pound of body weight before it could affect hormonal health.
“Fat intake, anything below 0.3 grams per pound per day is probably pushing that hormonal health metric a little bit, especially done in the longer term and we can eat as many fats as we like, but we need some carbs in our diet to produce energy and all that other good stuff carbs do. So, we’re going to cap our fat intake at 0.5 grams per pound per day” Dr. Mike Israetel said.
“Once you know your proteins and you do from the first calculation, and you know your fats, you do from the second one, the carbs are just whatever calories are left over divided by four because carbs have four calories per gram.”
