Hi everyone,

While I realize that ratios are just an informal guideline, and that what matters most is how your body processes the calories, I still have a very basic question about "ratios": WHAT are they actually ratios of? When someone says 40/40/20 do the percentages refer to the total number of calores from fat/carbs/proteins, or to the ratio between total grams consumed?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am totally new to this.

Thanks!
