can I get a formula to figure out the percentage of carbs/fat/protein I am eatting?

Cal count = 1469
carbohydrates = 238g
fat = 14g
protein = 103g

If you enter it into a fitday/dailyplate type program it should calculate it for you.

I just realized you do have a fitday account. I use something else and it tells me percentages. I clicked on your fitday and it looks like you just have a pie chart. Maybe someone else can help.

Yet another reason why Nutridiary is better than Fitday It gives pie charts and percentages. So nice!

Totally new here so hope I can be a little helpful-

I just created a "food" in my Diet Power program with the numbers you gave, with nothing else logged for the day. It gives me a pie chart and percentages, and this is what it calculated:

Fat- 9%
Carbs- 64%
Prot.- 37%

[nomorefatpants]

I just did the same thing as Kimbercan in my program and I got
28% protein
64% Carbs
8% Fat

Your fat % is amazingly low! I haven't yet figured out how to add alot of protein without also adding alot of fat.

I need to figure out what online program to switch to, since I won't be able to load my current program onto my work computer. Thanks for the tip. I wasn't a fan of fitday and this looks a lot more like the program I'm currently using

I believe there are 9 calories per gram of fat, and 4 calories per gram of protein or carbs, so with a little simple math, you can calculate your percentages pretty quickly.

Fitday does that. Mine are 37P-32C-31F so far today.
I wonder if we're just not understanding what Ready2ShedLBS is asking ... Do you mean what your percentages should be? Like how Body for Life is 40-40-20??

[Tara D]

Susan's right. If you go into the Reports section on fitday and look under Calories Eaten, fitday will caluclate it for the day, week, or month.

I didn't even look at the actual numbers- yours must be right, of course, since mine equals more than 100%, lol. Guess I better check that again....

Yeah, guess I should have had my glasses on. It says 9%, 64%, and 27%. Just call me Pinocchio.

Sorry about that!
