15% carbs, 20% protein, and 65% fat content with a calorific intake of 1800 cals equates to approx 68 carbs a day , approx, just under 270 cals from carbs.
if this was in ref to a 5ft 3inch lady needing to diet she would only need 1200 cals a day would then equate to approx 22.5% from carbs. Would that be considered as a normal diet obviously reducing carbs along with reducing fat/protein or low carb? then add in diff activity, if on a lower carb amount but quite inactive opposed to someone on a reduced carb diet with high activity who would loose weight quicker. Would sugars be better for who is more active or not. Who knows as metabolism,age as well as loads of other things need to be considered.
Point is, if somethings not working for you, do something about it and look at what you could do to improve either weight/sugar levels.
