How do I calculate the %. I know the fats are high from the preparation,but otherwise how does it look? |
You're supposed to figure out percentages, calories and grams BEFORE you eat it lol.
The fat content is outrageous
You gave a calorie count and then added one more piece of frittata, so that's more than what you listed. lol
Let's say your going to stick to around 1200 cals a day, 40% of 1200 is 480 so you should be eating 480 cals from, carbs and protien. 20% of 1200 is 240 so that should be your fat intake.
The conversion is 4 cals per gram of carb
4 cals per gram of protein
9 cals per gram fat
If you cut down the fat to 240 cals divided by 9 = 26 grams you have eaten almost 4 times the fat you should be, now if you cut the fat you can make up the difference with real food, you can eat almost twice as much food as long as it's not fat lol.
Other than the fat content all in all not too bad but you should eat a bit more.
