My Nutrition Analysis?
Fat - 33.4% (30 grams)
Protein - 15.1% (31 grams)
Carbohydrates - 51.4% (105 grams)
Alcohol - 0%
Other - 0%
Daily Sodium Intake - 1,003 mg
Daily Sugar Intake - 46 grams
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 46 mg
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 4 grams
Daily Fiber Intake - 9 grams
I am starting to try and pay attention to the macronutrients, but I'm a bit confused. If I've eating about 30 grams of both protein AND fat, why does it say that my fat intake accounts for 33% and the protein is only 15%? Shouldn't they both be about 25%?
*Note - this is just breakfast and lunch..
It's because fat has twice as much calories than protein : 1g of carbs and protein is about 4 kCal and 1g of fat is 9kCal
(recomended daily allowance is 45-60% carbs, 15-30% protein and 15-25% fat)
I had no idea. Wow! Now everything makes sense. Thank you so much!
