check your protein too and I'd have about 1g per kg of ideal body weight.

Fat, protein and carbs are components of all foods, so cream is mainly fat with a bit of protein and carbs. Cheese is 65 fat : 35 protein with little carbohydrate, etc.

Over a day you might eat 100 grams of fat, 75g of protein, 40g of carbs, that sort of thing.
