[QUOTE="khorlo, post: 924701, member: 198600"] Thanks everybody for your kind answers. A great source of frustration was not knowing how i would be able to count every carb, calories and protein from every item i have in order to be within the limits of my chosen daily intake of 1500 cal After tons of reading i managed to work out how i would convert the recommended daily macros for a very low carber that is 70 % FAT, 25% PROTEIN, 5% CARBS into their coresponding fat , protein and carb per gram values...etc... What i had difficulties with was how i would know what is the protein, fat and carbs content of each item and how i would combine them to give me the above ratios. I had to calculate that 70% of 1500 is 1050 cal of FAT daily, 25% of 1500 is 375 cals from protein daily, and 5% of 1500 is 75 cals from carbs daily So every day i should get 1050 cals from FAT 375 cals from protein and 75 cals from 5 % of carbs. Initially i couldn't get my head around the fact that i have to get 1050 cals from FAT but then i discovered that only ingesting 100g of FAT would give you 900 cals already. But i found an app, which lots of people use, which calculates the fat , protein and carb content of every item one can have and then adds them up giving you the total amount for that meal. So this is the kind on mind bending gymnastics i had to get into in order to figure out how i would get the 70% FAT /25% PROTEIN /5% CARBS ratios based on my chosen daily intake of 1500 cal. [/QUOTE]
