Overheard in the cafeteria just now...

"... The calories don't matter, I don't want to know the calories. The ratio of fats, carbs, and protein needs to be 7:4:4 or you're not going to lose weight."

Wuttt?

I am guessing this is somehow a weird interpretation of how many calories are in a gram of each, except she has the fat number wrong?

The things that people come up with never cease to amaze me.

    What does that mean anyway? Is it the ratio of calories from each source or what?

    Anyone else ever heard of this?

    As soon as said person stated, "the Calories don't matter," it was easy to discern that that person had absolutely no clue what (s)he was talking about.
