Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi, I played around in a spread sheet using Harry's numbers. It's very difficult to come up with a healthy daily meal plan based on the data he provided. And I am not doubting Harry's data. For instance, for me to approach an 1800 calorie day, I ended up with someone eating 250 grams of carbohydrates, 90 grams of protein, and 45 grams of fat. I was guessing at recommended daily allowances, and am not sure what they are, but fat seems high, and carbohydrates seems real high. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, I'm thinking the 3 basic food types (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) are to be pretty much divided equally throughout the day (approximately 33%). But my spread sheet shows, using my above approximate 1800 calorie day, 58% for carbohydrates, 21% for protein, and 21% for fat. While I can see lowering the carbohydrates to get closer to the 33%, that really drops the daily caloric count. I can't imagine I should up the fat grams, which means exceeding 90 grams of protein. Is that what I need to do to make my table work? Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
