Wow. I just crunched today's numbers in my new spread sheet. I appreciate dinner was carb high, relatively, but still fell under 10g absolute weight.
Total net carbs for the day = 25.02g, the %age breakdown for the day, and the meals, by kcals is what I am focusing on.
Figures for the day's total: fat = 70%, Net carbs 8.29%, Protein 17%. Rounded figures.
Breakfast = 80% fat, 4.5% net carb, 13.6% protein.
Lunch = 66% fat, 8.2% net carb, and 23% protein.
Dinner = 50% fat, 27% net carbs, 21% protein.
I doubt I will analyse every day and every meal like this, who knows... At the start of this new eating plan I am finding it really useful to see what's going on so I can better plan my meals to best advantage. Plan my meals - now that would be a first :D
We are not machines, we are biological beings and there are huge variables, our ability properly to digest and absorb the nutrients for instance. That said, for me, it's useful to have some sort of broad brush to be able to see at least a pattern of what's going on with my food rather than presuming and possibly making drastic errors along the way.
Conclusion, I will start spreading my carbohydrate content over my meals and day by %age, not absolute weight. I think it's a valuable distinction. I am always happy to prove myself wrong in a particular theory and change my perspective as I increase my knowledge.

Planning, analyzing, adjusting based on results. That's a smart approach. I like what you said about us as being "biological beings." There are so many variables when it comes to the human body...hormones, chemicals, things in or out of balance, different systems of our physical bodies and the way it all works together. We have some knowledge of how it all functions, sometimes think we know it all, but really there's much we don't know or that is assumed. Because of the complexity and variance, disease, and who knows what else...the way it works for one person is not necessarily how it works for another. So figuring it out for ourselves what works for us as individuals, based on the available knowledge, is important.

Yeah, thanks for your support, It works for me. Question everything, presume nothing. And knowledge is Key. I just put in a week's data. Blasts things out of the water, but gives me a sense of direction. I'm only looking at meals so far, but I am tempted to analyse the snacks/other line by line. For me it would make a difference which snack I chose, if at all. Looks like another late night ahead. I really ought to be doing my tax returns ;)

Ditto. I have usually file them by 17th Jan..... I don't like waiting toooo late, just in case. Gulp. Why is human nature such that we need the deadline to get up and do it? Like losing weight - seems to be a similar thing, ignore it and tackle it later if we feel more like it, or there is some deadline/health crisis. Oh well. We'll get there... taxed and healthy weight :)
