A: Higher protein intake helps preserve muscle mass during calorie deficit, increases satiety, and has a higher thermic effect, making it ideal for fat loss.

Q2: Can I adjust these ratios?
A: While this ratio is optimal for most women, individual needs may vary based on activity level, metabolism, and personal preferences.

Q3: How do I determine my total calorie needs?
A: Use a TDEE calculator to estimate your maintenance calories, then subtract 300-500 calories for a sustainable fat loss deficit.

Q4: Is this ratio suitable for all women?
A: This ratio works well for most women, but those with specific medical conditions or dietary restrictions should consult a healthcare professional.

Q5: How often should I recalculate my macros?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight loss (5-10% of body weight) to adjust for metabolic changes.
