Macronutrient Ratios?

[velogirl]

I recommend 60/20/20 to my clients, with the understanding that we'll tweke the carbs based on activity level.

I was recommended 60/20/20 too. I've cut out most bread and try to only have one serving of whole grains a day. But, still, with the fruits and veggies, my carb intake is still really high.

My averages have been of late: 45-55 carb / 25+- protein / 30+- fat. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get that fat average down. It's all good fat (i.e. from olive oil, flax seeds, or nuts), but it's still fat.

This ratio seems to be working for my regular workout routine: run 5-6 miles 3 days a week, ride trainer 1 hr, 3 days and some strength training routines. However, when training for an endurance event like a marathon or triathlon, I do increase my carbs a little.
