Default Stupid Calculator!

So I was surfing around and found this healthy body calculator which asked a bunch of health questions and measurements etc.

So while I was filling it out, it asked what % of my calories were fat, protein and carbs so I ansewerd. At the end I finally hit view results and it said:

Unreasonable calorie distribution for fat percent (range is 10 - 40 percent)
Unreasonable calorie distribution for protein percent (range is 10 - 20 percent)
Unreasonable calorie distribution for carbohydrate percent (range is 40 - 80 percent)


It was some type of error page. It seems the calculator cant fathom the way I eat and I should be dead or something according to it.

Who needs these stupid calculators anyway!

LOL! Of course it was having problems. Basically we eat upside-down to the 'healthy' method. You probably just gave it a heart attack.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if sparks started flying out of it and it blew up.
