5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why this specific macro ratio for women?
A: The 35/45/20 ratio provides adequate protein for muscle preservation, sufficient carbs for energy and hormone balance, and healthy fats for hormonal function - all crucial for female weight loss.

Q2: How do I determine my total calorie needs?
A: Use a TDEE calculator to estimate your maintenance calories, then subtract 300-500 calories for sustainable weight loss.

A: Active women may benefit from slightly higher carbohydrate intake, while sedentary women might reduce carbs slightly in favor of protein.

Q4: Are there any medical conditions that require different ratios?
A: Women with specific health conditions (PCOS, thyroid issues, diabetes) may need customized macro ratios and should consult a healthcare provider.

Q5: How strictly should I follow these ratios?
A: Use these as guidelines. Individual variation exists, so adjust based on how your body responds, energy levels, and personal preferences.
