Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are supporting the body, brain and metabolism in an own specific way. In this article, Medigoo.com will tell you how much of each you need to eat daily for being healthy.

For decades, scientists have studied the relationship between the world's human nutrition and the prevention of various diseases. Eventually, they concluded that the most optimal healthy ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates is following formula:

• 45% -65% of calories should come from carbohydrates
• 20% -35% of calories should come from fat
• 10% -35% of calories should come from protein

People who are actively involved in sports, and those who want to lose weight, often adhere strictly to the formula 30-20-50 (PFC) that fits into the generally accepted standards, and thus gives the most effective results.

Also, an effective recommended is to drink at least 60 oz. of protein per day for women and no less than 75 grams of protein per day for men. Compliance with this rule helps to prevent muscle loss during weight loss, but also gives a feeling of fullness and satisfaction of food.

PFC is an approach to balanced healthy eating that stands for these three macronutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

To achieve this the right balance of PFC, follow next recommendations:

• Try to eat varied, balanced foods from all groups in the food pyramid
• Keep tracking of how many calories you consume on a daily basis, take care not to exceed (or decrease!) the required rate
• Carefully study product labels - there are PFC specified foods (in 100 grams of product)
• Choose complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice. Avoid refined (highly purified) light carbohydrates, such as products of the highest grades: wheat, sugar, juices
• Choose foods that contain healthy fats and avoid trans fats (chips, margarine)
• Choose high-quality sources of protein such as cottage cheese, lean beef, fish, beans. Be careful: pork, chicken legs often contain more fat than protein.

You should remember that all proteins,  fats, and carbohydrates, and even products nobody likes to eat - all are necessary to the human body to function at 100% efficiently.
