A 56-year-old woman submitted an average day of eating to be reviewed for Insider's Nutrition Clinic. A nutritionist said to incorporate treats into her diet during the week. She told Insider she wants to lose fat and gain muscle. She tracks macros and aims to eat 150 grams of carbs, 50 grams of fat, and 150 grams of protein every day, she said. Consuming enough protein is important for fat loss and muscle gain — Zingaro recommended aiming for 1.8 grams to 2.7 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight daily.
