Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 This is the best article I could currently find that covers this topic. I found another that looked like a good resource but I lost it. It appears that intramuscular triglycerides are used at greater percentage with trained athletes at higher intensity activities. But it does not appear that even 50% of it is being used in the ratio of fat utilization even in the most intense bouts. Other sources of free fatty acids are used. It really is hard to say what an optimal percentage of macronutrients should be used for active individuals. The most popular ratio used by higher intensity athletes is: 20-30% fat, 50-60% carbohydrates, and 10-20% protein http://www.gssiweb.com/Article_Detail.aspx?articleid=32 & level=2 & topic=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
