How many grams of carbs should I eat?

We Answered:

Cut out all sugars & starches. No sodas, juices, cookies, candy, cakes, etc. As healthy as fruit may be, it's natural sugars do not only not promote fat loss, they actually promote fat storage (fructose is the most lipogenic carb).

Make sure half your meals are green non starchy vegs & eat lots of protein & good fats, limit your complex carb portions to no more than your protein portion.

I am adamantly opposed to low calorie dieting because most people lose a good portion of lean tissue (including vital organs like the heart) along with fat stores. There is no nutrition in fat stores, only energy. Most people get impatient and lower their calories and increase their exercise to a point where they lose so much lean tissue that when they return to what was maintenance level eating they are now accumulating more fat stores because their caloric needs have dropped due to the loss of this tissue as well as their metabolism slowing down to work more efficiently on fewer calories & it becomes a vicious cycle of dieting and more loss (including vital organs like the heart). This stress to the vital organs cannot be healthy.

Charlene Said:

Someone help me solve these maths problems?

We Answered:

I have nooo..clue!
but for #3 i think its 23%.
bcuz 2000 cals. and 2500 cals is a 500 calorie difference.
it's a 3.75% difference between 2000 cals. and 2500.
but we only want a 400 calorie difference becuz 2000-1600=400.
and 80% of 500 is 400. the number we want.
so 80% of 3.75 is 3.
and add that on to the 20% that we already had for the total fat and get 23%
