Something that always confused me when it comes to tracking calories is what percentage of them should be just set aside from protein.
Does anyone know what a safe percentage is for this? I figured a percentage made more sense since not everyone eats at the same calorie level.
25% minimum I would say. That is not for anyone hitting weights or working on muscle. I think 35% should be the minimum in that case. So if you are eating a standard 2000 calorie diet, that would be 700 calories coming from a protein source. Divided by 3 meals, that is roughly 235 which is doable for most people.
