Hi April,
It's your cousin Lynne, I just wanted to tell you that i really enjoy your website and especially the recipes, they are great! I recently joined weight watchers and always looking for healthier recipes.I have a question. what is the ratios that is at the bottom of your recipes?
thanks again
Hi Lynne,
It's great to hear from you! I really appreciate your feedback regarding the blogspot! The ratios at the bottom of the recipes are the caloric percentages of protein, carbs and fats in the recipe. So if the recipe lists the percentage as 30-50-20, the first percentage is protein, the second is carbohydrates and the last is always fat. Daily ratios make a huge difference when trying to achieve bodyfat loss. For general fitness clients, we aim for daily ratios of 30-50-20. This can change depending on the person's individual genetic profile as well. I hope this helps!
April
