Why do you say 9:7:3 is the ratio of carbs to protein to fat when Ive read a fat block is only 1.5 grams?
There are two ways of looking at this. The macro nutrient way says to take a look at your food and ask what the primary ingredient is. Peanuts? A protein source, right? Well, there are 6 grams of carbohydrates in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 6.6 grams of protein (wow! a block!), but there are 13 grams of FAT in this little helping. It is pretty obvious that the protein nutritional benefits of peanuts are far outweighed by the FAT nutrition benefits, and by the time you trim this down to a one block serving of fat, you’d be lucky to sort out the little protein molecules at all!. Furthermore, there is a good amount of research that says that the bioavailability of peanut protein is only about 60% of what the charts say peanuts actually have in protein content. Therefore, it is easier to call peanuts a fat than to remember the scant portions of carbohydrates and protein you find in it. When you use chicken, it is a protein, right? Right! But chicken has fat in it as well. Rather than t
