I don't understand % food intake!

Domenicox Posts: 1 Joined: 2010/03/19	2010/03/19, 07:23 PM I become rather confused. I read about % intake, ie, .20% Protine or 10% fats or 70% carbs. . Take this amount of grams, etc,etc Why I'm confused, do I look on the back of a tin, or would I just weigh my chickens and tunas. How and what do I do? many thanks.

IE if you were to have 2000 calories total per day, 70% of the calories should come from carbs 20% of the calories should com from protein 10% of the calories should come from fat Total 100% Do not have to be bang on , it is a guide line. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
