So, if PersonX eats 100 grams of protein per day, that would account for 400 calories worth of protein (100 grams of protein x 4
calories per gram = 400 calories).

The great thing about eating a Whole Food Plant Based Diet is that I get plenty of protein when I eat my cooked beans (1 cup cooked beans
= 15
grams protein) and my nuts and seeds (15
grams = 1 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup sunflower seeds), and my dark leafy greens (11
grams per 100
calories).
Calories per serving (energy): 634 Fat: 28

And, since there are 9
calories in each
gram of fat, this works out to be about 55
grams of fat
per day (500 ÷ 9
= 55).
1.1 g fat, so we take 9
calories per gram x 1.1
= 9.9
calories from fat 19.1 g carbs, so we take 4
calories per gram x 19.1
= 76.4
calories from carbs 4.4 g protein, so we take 4
calories per gram x 4.4
= 17.6
calories from protein Now, add these all up (9.9 +76.4 +17.6)
= about 103
calories, which is basically the amount on the
calorie label.
Continuing with our example: Carbohydrates: 55 % of 3200
calories = 440
grams of carbs 440
grams of carbs divided by 6 meals
= 73
grams of carbs
per meal
What this will look like on a low - carb diet with 50
grams of total carbs, 25
grams of fibre and 25
grams of net carbs: - 25
grams is fibre, 50 % of it is soluble, which means that this will contribute to 25 kcal (
calories)
= 12.5
grams of soluble fibre x 2 kcal
per gram of soluble fibre.
Because 1
gram of protein contains about 4
calories, this works out to be 660
calories from protein
per day (165 x 4
= 660).
Protein has 4
calories per gram so you are getting 180 X 4
= 720
calories from your protein intake.
Fat has 9
calories per gram, so that means you would want 60g of fat
per day (540/9
= 60).
To convert that to
grams, divide it by 4
calories per gram: 1290
calories equals 323
grams of carbs (1290/4
= 322.5).
1750 — 500 (fat)-- 284 (protein)
= 966 / 4
calories /
gram = 241g carbs
per day.
There are only 20
calories per 100
grams (I count all as carbs which gives you only 20/4
= 5 g net carbs
per 100 g).
