Food composition

how to decide the proportion of carb, protein, and fat before eating?

Hi @ssrivastava It depends on your goals and what type of eating plan you intend to follow. Have you discussed the matter with your doctor to get his/her recommendations? We do not know your current situation, medical issues or other factors that might need to be considered so we highly advise you consult with your doctor.

Thank you. My doctors do not give advice on nutrition unless one is 300 lbs or something like that.

hey there @ssrivastava . you want to make sure you have a nutritionally rich diet. the composition of protein, carb, etc is specific to what your goals are and your overall health. for example if you have to watch your sugar, you want less carbs. if you have anything related to kidneys you may want to do less protein. if you are really just looking to maximize your body's output through good nutrition then eat your colors in fruit and veg, eat good carbs but allow yourself to stray once in a while to have a happy soul, eat lean meats and fish and stick with good fats. here is a link to an article that I think is helpful and doesn't make you click through 50 items to get to the point.. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/healthy-diet

basically eat a lot of protein and a little less carbs and feel great

I went full carnivore diet with excellent results.  More energy, run times and distance improved, lost weight especially around the midsection.
