That will come to no good end.

Carbs are considered innocent in weight gain though - they're only 4 calories/gram, whereas that evil fat is 9 calories/gram.
Of course it's best if you get your carbs from whole grains and fruit, because you'll get a couple grams of fiber from each serving.
Protein? The nutrition labels all list how much protein there is per serving, but there's no RDA for protein on that label. And you can get all the protein you need from plant based foods - so that slice of whole grain bread counts as part of your protein.
Not to mention that the CDC says you only need 0.8g protein per kg of body weight - so a child who weighs 30 lbs needs less than 11 g of protein/day. (I have recently seen that interpreted to mean that the body can't handle more 0.8 g protein/kg of body weight - that's how twisted this has become)
It's just a mess - everything is upside down from what it should be.
