I don't and more and more experts don't put much thought into calories any more. I'd like to see Carbohydrates on the y-axis.

True that calories definitely don't show the full picture but I do think they illustrate the concept of efficiency well in this case. Carbs on the y-axis is an excellent follow up chart and included in my course.!

Brilliant! All of my faves are there, and cool to see how protein powder stacks up.

Hi Vasudha- I really appreciated this chart on protein, fat, and carbs. My BrainBodyHealth.org practice is finding ways to reduce Alzheimer's Disease. I send out a monthly newsletter and would like to include your chart. I will include your name and "We Ate Well" as the creator. Is this OK with you?
