"Doug Freyburger" wrote in message om... It does NOT follow. If your body does best at 90 grams of carb per day and 110 grams of protein, you could eat 1500 calories one day and eat (1500-(90*4)-(110*4))/9 = 78 grams of fat. The next day you could eat 2500 calories (2500-(90*4)-(110*4))/9 = 189 grams of fat. The two percentages are VERY different. Now extend that to how much you might weigh and how many calories might be est for you. My examples above would work okay from a calorie-only viewpoint for a person wh weighs 150 pounds and a person who weighs 250 pounds respectively. Te body should have some number of grams of protein, which can be figured out, and some number of grams of carb, which can be figured out. Once those numbers are figured out, you can get your own percentages, but they will NOT be anyone else's percentages. Thanks, Doug. This is helpful ... I appreciate the post -- John V.
