[QUOTE="muzza3, post: 2434670, member: 258123"] Hi [USER=515464]@Gracie204[/USER] While no expert I will try and put some numbers to this for you Your Target Weight : 140lbs Target Protein 140 grams (You are spot on here) Example of a positive PE Ratio for you : Protein 140grams, Carbs 60 grams Fats 60 grams PE RE Ratio = Protein divided by Carbs and fats combined ie: 140g divided by 120 (60grams Carbs plus 60 Grams Fat) = 1.17 So when wanting to lose weight you want your PE Ratio to be over 1. There is no set number but I usually run around a PE Ratio of 1.2 to 1.3. Your total grams of fat and carbs does not need to be half of the protein more like 70 to 90%. I don't get to caught up on the exact numbers so 135 - 150 grams of protein wouldn't worry me at all but just try to keep the ratio positive. Also the grams in Fat and Carbs vary every day for me depending on what I eat so in this example I could have 90 grams of Carb and 30grams of fat and would still have a PE Ratio of 1.17. I think you may be confusing the weight of the Rib Eye with the protein content. I had a 167g rib eye yesterday it contained 38 grams of protein and 5grams of fat You are right it is well set up to make you buy the book. I have to confess I have not bought the book but I will do not so much to read it but to give the Dr Naiman some compenstaion as I think this is a wonderful diet for me. I gathered my information after first reading this thread by listening to various interviews and how to's on Youtube and podcasts which I just googled. Finally I track using my Fitbit App which I already had. I hope this helps to some degree and don't hesitate to come back with any questions [/QUOTE]
