qm96's own diet
24 January 2011
The Daily Calorie intake Carbs/fat/protein mix is…
40% of your total calories from carbohydrates.
30% of your total calories from protein.
30% of your total calories from fat.
For example, let’s say your total daily energy requirement (TDER) is 2000 calories. Here’s how to calculate your calories from carbs, protein and fat:
Carbohydrates: 2000 calories x .40 = 800 calories per day from carbohydrates.
Protein: 2000 x .30 = 600 calories per day from protein.
Fat: 2000 x .30 = 600 calories per day from fat.
Here’s what you’ll need to know to make this possible:
1 gram of protein has 4 calories.
1 gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories.
1 gram of fat has 9 calories.
To convert your caloric requirements into grams, divide the calories by the number of calories per gram. Here’s what it looks like using my previous example.
We’ve already calculated how many calories from each macronutrient I would consume on a 2000 calorie per day diet:
To calculate the grams of each, here’s what you do…
Carbohydrates: 800/4 (calories per gram) = 200 grams of carbohydrates per day.
Protein: 600/4 (calories per gram) = 150 grams of protein per day.
Fat: 600/9 (calories per gram) = 67 grams of fat per day.
