calories ~ The Precise Zoner

Not to worry.
If we were to take it to the enth degree, then yes, you're right, it would = 91 calories. BUT, as you may have noticed with Fitday, you're ratios don't come up exact. Take peanut butter for instance. In Zone terms, it's only a fat, but there is also protein and carb (we don't count it), but there are calories in those macronutrients. My peanut butter for example: 1T = 100 calories (rounded)
How do we arrive at 100 calories? 8g Fat (X9=72), 3g Carb (X4=12), 4.5g Protein (X4=18) 72+12+18=102
Does that make sense?
If you're interested in getting more precise, you can ~ (you gotta have a mini calculator going on in your head all of the time  ) However, when it comes to plant proteins, (beans, nuts, legumes), count only about 70% of the protein in block terms, but count all of the calories.
