You have to add the calories yourself. Don't even bother looking at the %'s.

As far as the rest, I never go over 2 minutes between sets.

if it says it has 200 calories per serving, thats how many calories it has per serving regardless of how many calories you need a day. Like conan said, pay no attention to the percentages. A calorie is a calorie, no matter how many of them you need 1 is 1....2 is 2....so forth and so on.

And to be honest the 2,000 calories is a joke!! Even me at 170lbs would need more than that on a fat-loss diet!!
