break down on Carb %?

I've seen it posted before but just can't find it, I would like to know what everyone else is going by like how much Protein %, Carb %, fat % break down... I log my food intake @  http://www.nutrimirror.com and it gives me a break down of what IT thinks I should have, this is what it has listed:

Carbs 55%
Protein 15%
Fat 30%

I know those # are INCORRECT for a RNY but I don't remember where I should be at   I'm so confused at this point.

Please help before I go nuts

While I am not a nutritionist, this seems like an awfully high precentage of Carbs for us....

My first surgeon always told me that the carbs and protein should be just about equal or better yet with the carbs being the lower of the two....

I know that I do better when I am getting in more protein than carbs.... this is one reason my weight loss stalled... too many carbs without thinking about it.

So, I'll go back to my hard boiled egg whites that I am having for breakfast and read some more.

Best of luck!

Thank you for helping me out, I just want to limit my carb but a healthy limit, I've seen some post where they don't go over like 30 or so and I can't function on 30 grams of carbs...

so just doing some research, thanks again

I just monitor my protein (at least 60 grams/day) and water (at least 60 oz/day) intake and count my calories.  That seems to take care of the rest.  I still use one protein powder (Unjury) supplement a day just to be absolutely sure I get my full amount of protein each day.  Don't know how this would work for you because each of us is different, but this is the way I handle it.

Thank you, I have been doing at least 1 shake if not 2 since day 1 but for some reason I stopped about 8 months ago and I'm trying to get back on track...

Thanks for the input

Isn't this site grand!  Glad I could be of help 

Hi Linda,

You're right, those aren't correct percentages for wls patients.

I log my food into FitDay.  As a general way to deterine your protein, divide your weight by two.  Unless you weigh more than 250, use125-140 grams.  If you do physical, strenuous work or do extensive weight training, increase your protein beyond dividing your weight in two.

Again, all of us are different.  I make sure that I eat protein first.  I will make my second choice vegetables or fruit.  I will eat two bites of protein for one bite of vegetables, fruit or a complex carb.  I don't pay close attention to the percentages when I eat this way.  I find that the balance between protein, carbs and fat work out naturally.

I hope that helps.  If not, let me know.

Thank you for your reply, I use to use fitday.com but find

http://www.nutrimirror.com so much easier when it comes to added a recipe.

I've been searching for the right formula but can't seem to find it ... I'll keep searching.
