Improve Your Health 5 - The 40/30/30 Rule
That's the percentage of daily calories from Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats you should have in your diet. These percentages, give or take, make your internal engine run efficiently. When the ratio of carbs increases, the ratio of proteins and fats decreases, and your internal engine runs inefficiently; the unused carbs stick around as added weight. We'll break this down more next week. In the meantime, if you're hungry between meals, back off the carbs and focus on proteins: nuts, seeds, jerky, greek yogurt, and hard cheeses. Read the labels - make sure your percentages don't favor carbs.
