Does anyone know of a website or formula where you can input your calorie intake and it breaks it down to tell you how much of each nutrient you should be taking in?
Example, if I am on a 1200 calorie a day diet it would tell me how much of a percentage of:
Fat = ? %
Carbs = ?%
Protein = ?%
Fiber = ?%
sugars = ?%
etc, should be taken in to make up that 1200 calories. In other words, it would tell you how to break it down so your getting the most of the 1200 calories.
Has anyone heard of anything like this or something similiar?
Thanks
Joe

results you get mary vary a bit from each site....but alot depends on your own goals...that fat% of around 30 or under doesnt change much but the protein to carb ratio does...i lift weights intensly 5 nights a week, thus needing alot of protein for growth and repair..my cardio sessions are minimal in comparison (im at my goal weight), so i will have a protein to carb ratio of like 65:35 (fat not included here)...on the other hand if you do more cardio than weights etc, you would need more carbs, say a 60:40 blend...lets say you do both, well thats easy : 40:40:20 P,C,F....again its about your goals...want lean muscle from heavy weight training? up your protein...need energy to do your cardio sessions? up your carbs.
~Short, sharp and intense = results~

There's lots of info at fitday.com too. I get a chart that shows short comings in red. At 1200 cals I needed a multivit.
