A Better way to determine nutrition

Here is the best way to determine the basic contents of food: compare
calories from protein, fat or carbs as a percentage of the total
calories. Take 2% milk for example. That means 2% fat BUT the 2% those
rascals are talking about is 2% of the weight, not the calories. It is
very misleading because most of milk is WATER. A cup of 2% milk has 5
grams of fat and 130 calories. But wait. There are 9 calories per gram
for fat (while carbs and protein is 4 calories per gram) so that's 45
calories from fat and 45/130 is 34.6 % fat. Is this low fat? Not at
all. It is very high fat....in fact, it is loaded with fat. This is a
much better way to look at food. Afterall, fiber and water don't count
as calories. Consider green beans. A can has 8 grams of protein and 70
calories. Protein has 4 calories per gram so that is 32/70 making
green beans 45.7 % protein on the basis of calories which is what
everyone should be looking at. Suddenly, you start to see the
misleading information and advertising you can be sucked into. I would
venture to say almost nobody (except me) mentions green beans when
they talk about high protein foods. They do mention eggs though. OK
eggs. Whole eggs have 17 grams of protein and 210 calories: 17 X 4 =
68/211= 32.2% protein, so green beans are higher in protein than
eggs. How about a nice juicy Big Mac? Obviously very high protein, hey
it's meat right? Well it is very fat meat with lots of added fat in
mayonaise and cheese: 1 Big Mac has 25 grams of protein X 4 = 100/540
cal = 18.5 % protein. Fat in the Big Mac is 29 grams X 9 cal per gram
of fat = 261/540 = 48.3% fat....almost half a Big Mac is FAT. dkw
