About 70% of your diet needs to be carbs. It is the most important part of your diet and it is things like bread, pasta, and potatoes. And thet fact that you shouldn't eat carbs after 5.00 is complete bogus.

This very much depends on your exercise habits, though the USDA recommends 50% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 20% protein. 15% of daily energy should come from fat as a minimum, even if on a low fat diet, to provide essential fatty acids. On a regular diet, no more than 10% of daily calorie intake should come from saturated fat.

Variations occur, an example being the typical bodybuilding diet, which calls for one gram per pound of bodyweight of protein per day, sometimes up to 40% of daily calorie intake. In addition, athletes tend to go on the low end of fat intake, usually around 20%. Endurance athletes also have higher carbohydrate intakes, sometimes comprising up to 60% of daily caloric intake.

A balanced plate of food should contain about 50 percent vegetables by volume. The rest of the plate should be even divided between carbohydrates and meat (or other protein sources).
