Help me out with malapsorption #'s...
Smucker's Organic Peanut-butter
Calories 210
Calories from Fat 144
Total Fat 16.0g
Saturated Fat 2.5g
Cholesterol 0mg
Sodium 50mg
Carbohydrates 6.0g
Dietary Fiber 2.0g
Sugars 1.0g
Protein 8.0g
So in the case of this peanut-butter, I would calculate...
Total fat: 16g divided by 20% = 3.2
Protein: 8g divided by 60% = 4.8
Is this correct? What about calories? How do I know how many calories I malabsorb? I'm so confused.

(# grams fat x 9) x .20 = approximate number fat calories absorbed
(# grams net carbs (net carbs are total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols) x 4) x .60 = approximate number carb calories absorbed
(# grams protein x 4) x .60 = approximate number of protein calories absorbed
Your peanut butter:
(16 x 9) x .20 = 28.8 fat calories
(4 x 4) x .60 = 9.6 carb calories
(8 x 4) x .60 = 19.2 protein calories
Total calories absorbed (approximate): 57.6
First goal 120.0: 12/7/13 Final goal 115.0 (114.6): 2/6/14
5'3 SW: 199 (12/11/11) Current: 114.8 pounds 18% body fat BMI: 20.3
And I've always wondered... When calculating the net carbs, why do we subtract fiber and sugar alcohols? They don't matter? Or we don't absorb them?
Thanks so much for all your help!

^^^^ LOVE it. And yes, Valerie is right. I JUST count the protein.

Try counting carbs instead of calories then. Protein dense foods are high in calories and fat, and you don't want to cut back on those. Simple carbs are the key to stopping losing and gaining.
Calorie counting is so 1980's.

Don't count calories...count grams...Make sure the first 30 grams you eat every meal/snack is protein based. Make sure you get enough fat, remember you don't absorb about 80% of the fat you ingest. IF you have room left over, then go to the complex carbs. Stay away from simple carbs, white based carbs, etc. Simple carbs include sugar!

I was looking for the *like* button. Yep, just count the protein and go from there.
