1 pound of 80/20 ground beef:
~1200 calories
~80g fat @ 9 calories per g = 720 cals or ~60% of calories from fat
~122g of protein @ 4 calories per g = ~500 cals or ~40% of calories from protein
Good luck on your quest for health!
ya I see a lot of different numbers when I check usually around 1000 calories.
but now that I am feeling better I need to see if i need that much. all that I have learned in the last few months have to be tossed because how carbs have thrown me off. I would try extra lean hamburger but its so dry its hard to even eat with nothing on it.
but I feel so much better without carbs. even those sugar alcohols can make me feel like regular carbs if I eat very much. but they are on the nasty side so I don't eat it often but in a keto protein par on longer rides.
its amazing I can have more energy with no carbs then with them. talk about backwards. I watch people ride eating carby things and its like crap I dont even eat unless I have to I don't want to stop long enough. I usually have a protein drink or bar and some caffeine I may get some jerky but its hard to eat while riding.
