High or medium protein. Protein won’t change a huge amount for most people - about 15% up to maybe 20%. Almost never over 25%. It is the remaining 80% that varies in how it is split between carbs and fat. (”The highest 95th percentile of protein intake was 20.8% of calories in men aged 51-70 y.” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18469286/ )

I’m probably in the upper teens on protein but I don’t count so I don’t know. I just try to restrict carbs, and then only eat carbs in one of my two meals each day.

If I’m at a friend’s or eating out - maybe once a month - then I ignore all the rules.
