- Stephen, Most of us eat too many fat calories, 9 calories per gram of
- fat with only 4 per gram for carbos. If your really interested I would
- do two things:
- 1. subscribe to sci.med.nutrition (ignore the pissing contest between the
- vegans, vegitarians, and meat eaters - it is informative and
- humorous.
- 2. Try a basic nutrition book - I think jane Brody's Nutrition Book is the
- perfect starter book, easy to read, good basics.
