What is the 40-30-30 meal plan?

The 40-30-30 meal plan focuses on a balanced distribution of macronutrients for an overall nutritious diet that supports overall health and well-being. This means that 40% of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates, 30% from protein, and 30% from healthy fats. However, it’s slightly lower in carbohydrates than the acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) of 45-65% carbs. It is within the AMDR target ranges for fat and protein.

In addition, unknown hormonal imbalances or underlying health conditions may be at play. Talking with your doctor or registered dietitian can be a good way to identify the root cause and design a personalized plan.
