How this is worked out

Protein and carbohydrate provide 4 kcal per gram, fat 9 kcal per gram. Grams = calories × percentage ÷ kcal per gram. Custom percentages must add up to 100.

Questions people ask

Why is the Indian vegetarian split higher in carbs?

It reflects a typical plate of rice or roti, dal and sabzi. If you want more protein, add paneer, curd, soy, eggs or lentils and use the higher-protein split.
