Hi ElMaestro!

❝ […] Business as usual.


Found another gem. I know that units are a very difficult topic. FDA and our Canadian friends failed as well in distinguishing calories and kilocalories.

4.1.4 Study conduct, Fasting or fed conditions

[...] the meal should be a high-fat (approximately 50 percent of total caloric content of the meal) and high-calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) meal. This test meal should derive approximately 150, 250, and 500-600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively. The composition of the meal should be described with regard to protein, carbohydrate and fat content (specified in grams, calories and relative caloric content (%)).


OK, here comes my suggestion:
                   caloric breakdown (cal)
--------------------------------------------------
                        carbo-
              protein   hydrate    fat     total
--------------------------------------------------
123 mg toast    46.1     203.0     33.5    282.6
 50 mg butter    0.0       1.7    452.0    453.7
350 µL milk     47.3      58.3    124.2    229.8
--------------------------------------------------
total calories  93.5     263.0    609.6    966.1
target cal.    150       250     500-600  800-1000
% of total       9.7      27.2     63.1

Not perfect, but a first try. Protein is difficult to match, maybe I add a quarter soybean to the meal and serve only 100 mg of toast instead.

P.S.: I’m quite happy with my body mass of 72 kilograms. 72 grams with my size would give my enough bouyancy to reach the stratosphere. On the other hand keeping my specific weight and BMI I would only measure 5.7 centimetres (slightly smaller than a mouse). Luckily I don’t have a cat at home.

a scientist is a layman.
What members of an academy of science have in common
is a certain form of semiparasitic living.    Erwin Chargaff
