2bthinner, thanks for the extra help with the ratios. I'm still not clear where we are getting our suggested number of calories a day to apply the percentages too, but I am much clearer now on the percentages.

Hi again. Actually, the total calories I get from the ratios. You multiply the grams (protein and carb by 4, and fat by 9) to get the calories per macro, then add them together for total calories. You're really working more on not eating too much protein, a problem I have, or too many carbs. The fat, as long as your protein and carbs are low, isn't an issue.
Hope this helps. |
