This is actually not hard to do. For example, if your lunch was a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomato and a half serving of almonds, you’d be at a mix of 37% carbs, 33% protein, and 30% fats. This is actually very close to Dr. Barry Sears Zone Diet ratio of 40:30:30, which in my personal experience is a good target to aim for, especially for someone who is trying to gain muscle and shed some fat. Bottom line is that specific ratios can vary slightly, provided you are making good, solid choices about the kinds of carbohydrates and fats you are including along with your protein. The main objective should be to always have each of the three macro-nutrients in each of your 5-6 small meals each day. This habit will ensure that: -You always have the critical nutrients available to your body' You will stabilize blood sugar and prevent hunger pangs later in the day. -You will be discouraged from overeating and storing the excess calories as fat. .-= vingill´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/best-healtsecrets-ever/squidcast/622291-laughter-medicine-for-the-soul">Laughter Medicine for The Soul</a> =-.
