Sharing the Fat ( Calculations )

Dietary studies have resolved protein and carbs - now I need to lock down fats. 

Ballparks ...


- A : fat calories as a fraction of total calories : target 30%

- B : fat calories per gram : 9

- C : A&B : 1000 Cal * 30% / ( 9 Cal/g ) = 33g fat per 1000 Cal


... which fits the intuition for efficiencies I had previously developed during cafe operations ...


Sunflower Seed, F : 46.5% of 71g, per 1000 Cal gross intake, about MYR 1.5 

- SF : 4.5%

- MuF : 19%

- PuF : 23%


Pumpkin Seed, F : 45.8% of 72g, per 1000 Cal gross intake, about MYR 2.5

- SF : 8.6%

- MuF : 16.2%

- PuF : 21%


Chicken Egg, F : 6.5% of 507g, per 1000 Cal gross intake, about MYR 3.5 for 7-8 grade A eggs with a minimum of 65g each

- SF : 2.5%

- MuF : 3.4%

- PuF : 0.6%


Almond. F : 36.7% of 90g, per 1000 Cal gross intake, about MYR 4.0

- SF : 3.7%

- MuF : 30.9%

- PuF : 12.1%
