[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 1329847, member: 113206"] The official NHS macros are: Energy: 8,400 kJ/2,000kcal Total fat: 70g Saturates: 20g Carbohydrate: 260g Total sugars: 90g Protein: 50g [URL]http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/reference-intakes-RI-guideline-daily-amounts-GDA.aspx[/URL] So I would say that you're not following the NHS dietary guidelines, which is no doubt why you're doing so well. Good work! The NHS' math doesn't seem to add up. Assuming 4 kcal per gram for protein and carb and 9 kcal per g of fat, I get only 1,870 kcal, not 2,000 kcal. That's assuming that the sugar is part of the carbs. If the sugar is in addition to the carbs, I get 2,230 kcal. I wonder how many people reading that would think the sugar is in addition to the carbs? 4 L of water a day seems excessive, though. [/QUOTE]
