Mathematical approach am I nerdy?

[skinnybobm]

my first hour here as member subscriber. My question is my holistic doctor and nutritionist have recommended 1500 calories. They recommended 50 gm protein, 50 gm fat, which will equal 690 calories. Remaining is 810 calories which will be as far as I presently know be from carbohydrates. This will be 200 gms carbohydrates. Total gms to fulfill this dietary need for 1500 calories will be 310 gms. This calculates to total a weight of 10.93 ounces per day of this nutrition. How can this possibly be correct? What am I missing. I love math and do lots of calculations so i can maintain what I think is correct for my nutrients etc. Thanks

I started this topic…..It seems to me that I will consume 10.93 ounces for required 1500 calories/nutrition… what else do I eat and drink. surely 10.93 ounces are not enough!

Hi, Skinnybobm. Don’t forget all the weight from water (it’s much more than you think, even in seemingly dry foods), fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
