Just one thing. . .

Those body weights are lean body weights, right?

Ie.  If my total weight would be 80 kilos and body fat 20% then my lean body weight would be 64 kilos.  That would equal to 2100cal and 140g protein per day, right?

Now if I'd go with 80 kilo nutrition values, I'd gain fat?

Did I get this right?

Also would like to know approx.  energy value for fat/gram.  Since in Finland we don't have energy values for fat on nutrition labels. . .

The data given here is for your total weight as shown by your scale.

And 1 g of fat equals 9 kcal.

Yeah i've tried to count that aswell, and 9kcal per 1gram of fat doesnt fit. Here is a example



If you have trouble reading it (Its in swedish)it says the following:

Nutrition Value per 100g:

Energy 2374Kj/567Kcal
Protein: 25.6g
Fat: 49.2g
Carbohydrate: 7.6g

Exactly how many calories in fat is that?

If I'm counting correctly it should be 442 calories from fat? (9x49.2) and then 33.2x4 =132.8 ( 4 kcal per protein/carbs ) right?

which adds up to 574,8 kcal which is like 10kcal too much! Did i do something wrong?

PS: For those who wonder, this is 99.5% Peanut butter and 0.05% Seasalt.

Thanks in advance!

//Sincerely, Shaitosa

Heah Shaitosa,

their calculation is wrong. It should be:

25.6 g of protein x 4 = 102.4 kcal
49.2 g of fat x 9 = 442.8 kcal
7.6 g of carbohydrates x 4 = 30.4 kcal

102.4 + 442.8 + 30.4 = 576 kcal
