Basic knowledge on Macros - links

[nckfitheart2009]

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone got any link or useful list on macros?
I believe nuts are considered as fat.
Now how about firm tomatos eaten as salad?
This should be considered as carbs? :-?/

Please help;-)

I have posted this question in both nutrition and open discussion box.
I am hoping to get an answer here since Diet and nutrition box does get looked at.

Thanks,

I really like http://organicfitness.com/ -- Eirik has a lot of insightful articles.

For what purpose? In general, most foods contain some amounts of protein, carbs and fat - it's not just ONE category (obvious exceptions are oils, etc.). If you use a tool like MyFitnessPal, you can browse their database of foods and determine the macro make-up of pretty much everything. It's a great tool if you are planning and logging on a macro level (I do this and it's fantastic).

Thanks for mentioning MyfitnessPal. Is it available as an app?
I need to check if I can have it here in Europe.

Kind Regards

Hi Nathalie - yes, it's available in Europe - there's a UK version which my daughter uses.
