[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2344438, member: 365308"] What is your build? Natural skinny (I type), natural athlete (V shape) or naturally round (O type). Your macros to lose fat would be different for each type but assuming you are O type and carb intolerant (diabetic) then I'd go for 40 % protein, 40% fat and 20% carbohydrate. If you are more athletic then the proportions you suggested above are the classic prescription. I assume you are working off a calorie total based on your sex, activity levels etc? Personally I prefer to tell clients with metabolic issues like this (I am a PT) to prioritise protein, fill up on fat and be (very) careful on carbs! However I know that being disciplined does work for some people who feel they can't judge portions very well or have a real time pressure upon them to lose the weight. I am not saying that is you but do consider that with 26 kg to lose this will require a sustained amount of focus and discipline whereas trusting your appetite may actually be a better long term strategy.
