Today I am going to look at the 3 building blocks of a healthy diet.

They are protein, carobhydrate and fat. Protein has approximately 4 calories per GRAM, as do Carbohydrates.

However Fat derives 9 calories from each GRAM, a full 225% more calories per gram than either protein or carbohydrates.
But your body needs a balanced diet, so you have to ensure your are getting adequate amounts of all 3 food groups.

But since fat has substancially more calories per gram than both protein & carbohydrates, just ensure the bulk of your diet is a balance of the first two food groups with some health fats thrown in for good measure.

Don’t forget there are good fats and not so good fats which is something I will go into more detail of, in another post soon.

Just as a quick rule of thumb but by no means an exhaustive or totally fool proof system. If the fat comes from an animal such as the fats found in butter, pastry or shortening, it is saturated fat and if it comes from a plant such as Olive Oil, SunFlower Oil or Nuts it is most likely unsaturated fat. Remember unsaturated fat is good fat.

All fat will make you put on weight, so always keep it in check and maintain a balance.

The Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks Diet plan has a good understanding of these fats, as well as giving you alternatives if you are currently eating too much saturated fat. Take a look at the following link:

That’s me done for another day I will look at this in much more detail again soon.

So until tomorrow have a good day
