I read that Ray Peat recommands 180-250 g carbs daily.
Is that for a 2000 calorie diet ?
Just doing a little bit of mathematics with that.
Because 180-250 gram carbs is only 700-1000 calories.
For someone that needs 2000 calories, that is only 35-50% of the total calories.
For someone that needs 3000 calories, that is only 23-33% of total calories.
I say "only", because the USDA recommands 45-65% of the calories should come from fat.
I was under the impression that Ray Peat recommands a high carb diet. But actually, this seems more like a low-mid carb diet.
Assuming a person eats 100 gram of protein. That is 400 calories.
So there are 1100-1400 calories for protein+carb.
That leaves 600-900 calories for fat if you need 2000 calories.
That is 66 up to 100 gram of fats.
That is 30% up to 45% fats. (as reference USDA recommands 20-35% should come from fat).
This makes me wonder why Ray Peat recommands skim milk. I mean, whole milk seems perfect if you want to get 66-100 gram of fats daily.
