Experts disagree as to exact numbers, but a middle-of-the-road menu calls for 25% of calories from healthy oils, 20% from lean protein and 55% from complex carbs. So if the low-carb mantra has made you cut simple sugars and refined carbohydrates from your diet, great. But if you are skimping on produce and whole grains and instead shoveling animal and dairy fats into your body, you are short-changing your health.
