Does anyone know how many grams of fat, protein, and carbohydrate
is recommended for a person to stay healthy?
Many diets are low in calories and/or carbohydrates. I want to
be sure I'm not overdoing the others.

The ratio is the important factor, according to the American
Medical Association and the American Heart Association.
Both recommend diets in the follwing ranges:
Fat: 40% 20%
Car: 40% 50%
Pro: 20% 30%
The first set of pecentages is close to the average American
diet and is OK for most people. The second set is closer to what
an ideal diet should be made up of.
The actual number of grams required on a daily basis depends
largely on your activity level, health, and age.
