What you're saying is scientifically untenable. For one, dietary fiber is not a macronutrient, so including that in your ratio is just incorrect. Secondly, carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy for your brain and body - the majority (80%+) of a healthy diet should consist of carbs - whole wheat like pasta, veggies, fruit, legumes, etc. Finally, even WHO recommends only 5% of caloric intake from protein. May I ask where you're sourcing your information? Every respectable medical and nutritional journal I've read recommends a whole plant-based diet, low in protein and fat, and high in carbohydrates, for optimal human health.
