Having said that, in my personal experience while trying to lose weight I didn't pay much attention to fat calories. Occasionally my intake might have been that high. Mainly when I chose higher fat proteins though. (think salmon or red meat) I firmly maintain that reducing carb intake through "white" foods - primarily sugar but white flour/white pasta/white rice - North American's would be much healthier regardless of fat eaten. Fat afterall does not beget fat. fat … 35% seems a bit high to me. Having said that, in my personal experience while trying to lose weight I didn’t pay much attention to fat calories.

I know it all comes down to the individuals needs but what seems to work for you? tried the site. i think it might be a wart. racing flats. yeah... i think your knee is just taking its time. looking at it from your perspective, a day seems like a long time. but take a step back and look at it this way, 2 weeks is such a small part in someones life. most people can't train consistently for 2 weeks so don't beat yourself up over not getting time in. your body isn't going to forget the previous years work. remember, it's better to go in to the race a little undertrained. so do you agree with the specific number of 20-35%?

i think your knee is just taking its time. looking at it from your perspective, a day seems like a long time. but take a step back and look at it this way, 2 weeks is such a small part in someones life. most people can’t train consistently for 2 weeks so don’t beat yourself up over not getting time in. your body isn’t going to forget the previous years work. remember, it’s better to go in to the race a little undertrained.

Particularly simple carbs (read: sugar). With the fat scare of the last 10 years or so, Joe Schmoe understands Fat=Bad and has steered toward "low fat" products. Problem is most low fat manufactured foods simply replaced saturated fats with sugar. Why? Well, it tastes good. (http://www.precisionnutrition.com/good-vs-too-good) Joe Schmoe doesn't realize we all need GOOD fat. Which I suspect is why they gave a specific number. re: Fig bumps ... the internet solves all: http://www.vetinfo.com/dlumps.html re: racing flats ... isn't TriRudy Ottawa based? Can't someone on there tell you? re: knowing all ... NOBODY knows it all. But if you have a logical interpretation, even without proof, it's worthy of sharing. re: trisuit ... PHYSICALLY make or "have" them made?? my question: when will my knee be ready to bike and run again? re: fat … from what I’ve read – and I’ve read a LOT – the average NA diet is super heavy in carbs.
