Your Macronutrient Ratios
Understanding PE Ratio
PE Ratio = Protein ÷ Energy
Where Energy = Carbs + Fat (in grams)
This ratio helps optimize your macronutrient balance. A higher PE ratio means more protein relative to your energy intake, while a lower ratio means more energy macros relative to protein.
*Why Collagen-Based Proteins Are Critical
⚡ Important: Aim to get 20-40% of your total protein from collagen sources daily for optimal results.
When eating higher amounts of protein, it's essential to balance methionine-rich proteins (meat, eggs, dairy) with glycine-rich collagen sources. This balance is crucial for:
- Hormone Optimization: Proper methionine-to-glycine ratio supports thyroid function and metabolic health
- Fat Loss: Glycine helps your body efficiently process protein and supports healthy metabolism
- Overall Health: Collagen provides amino acids that support gut health, skin, joints, and connective tissue
- Longevity: Balanced amino acid intake reduces metabolic stress and supports cellular health
