The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that approximately 50% of your calories should come from carbohydrates, about 30% from fats, and approximately 20% from protein sources.
For calculating purposes, it helps to know that one gram of protein has about four calories, one gram of fat has about nine calories, and one gram of carbohydrate has about four calories. In this case the 135 pound female would need about 240 grams of carbohydrates, 63.4 grams of fat, and 96 grams of protein per day.
