Is this even possible, less fat then protein, but a higher precent?!


Quote  |  Reply

Fat - 27.1% (21 grams)
Protein - 21.3% (36 grams)
Carbohydrates - 51.6% (88 grams)
Alcohol - 0.0%
Other - 0.0%

What! I may have spent a few math classes reading, but I know that 21 is less then 36. Whats up? Is fat denser then protein or something? 692 total grams.

(Note it's kind of low at the moment because I haven't had a snack or eaten dinner yet.)

I check my sisters and hers was also like this. IS it a glitch or am I missing something?

each gram of fat = 9 calories

each gram of protein = 4 calories

each gram of carbs = 4 calorie

21 x 9 = 189 calories = 27%

36 x 4 = 144 calories = 21%

88 x 4 = 352 calories = 51%

total cals = 685

** percentages rounded down

Oh! Of course I should have remebered that! Silly me. Thanks so very much for the help.
