I begin this by bringing up something. All of the macronutrients are often identified by calories in grams.
But what does this mean to you? How about instead of saying alcohol gives you 7 calories a gram I say alcohol gives you 196 calories per ounce. Now by the ounce you better understand the energy value of food. I am also using the knowledge that 28 grams = one ounce.
So lets get cooking Fats are not your enemy. This is because fats are used to make all the hormones your body needs to work good, such as testosterone.
Fats weigh in at 252 calories an ounce. These are concentrated nutrients to keep you warm in the winter.
Alcohol is next at196 calories an ounce, ( I do not like light beers since the only way to reduce calories is to reduce alcohol content.) What is the point of drinking some beer other than to get buzzed? So when you buy light beer, GOOD for the brewer but BAD for you since you are paying more money for 'water'.
Proteins weigh in a only 112 calories an ounce. Proteins are used by the body for muscle tissues and veins, and arteries, rocovering from injuries, This is because proteins are made of amino acids which are the building blocks for bodies.
Also carbohydrates weigh in at 112 calories an ounce. Carbohydrates are important since they are the first choice for energy. What makes me go hmmm is that in a healthy individual their 3 pound brain burns 35% of the carbohydrates they consume. Calories not carbohydrates are what determines our bodies fat stores and even energy demands. Due to 'Glucogenesis' anything we eat in excess may be stored as fat .
Vitamins are a lot like spark plugs in that they are reused to lock and unlock food molecules so that your body can digest the foods you consume.
Minerals such as iron in our blood that allows our blood to carry oxygen I can understand. I think mineral are more like the chemist's regents in that they aide in creating a myriad of chemical reactions.
