What percentage macros for weight loss?

I've started a weight loss journey and my trainer mentioned something about macros. I'm a bit confused about the ideal percentage split for carbs, protein, and fats when you're trying to lose weight.

Yaar, actually, it varies a lot from person to person! Some people do well with higher protein, like 30-40%, while carbs and fats balance out. Best to see what works for your body and talk to a nutritionist, haan?

Hey! I've been on a weight loss journey too, and figuring out macros was confusing. What I found is that getting enough protein (like 1g per lb of body weight) is super important for satiety and muscle retention. Then I balance carbs and fats depending on my energy levels. You might need to experiment a bit to see what suits your body best.

For weight loss, a common starting point is often higher protein (around 30-40%), moderate carbs (30-40%), and healthy fats (20-30%). But don't forget that exercise is also crucial! Even brisk walking for 30-45 minutes daily can make a big difference, if your doctor says it's okay.
