I would like to second the low carb answer. I was 255 with a lean body mass of 135 at 5' 11" with high glucose, tryglicerides and cholesterol. It was a prediabetic condition. Two years later all my blood levels are normal. I weigh 239 with a lean body mass of 202. That is about 16% bodyfat. I did a cross between Atkins and Protein Power (low carb diets). I did nothing but weight lifting for exercise until about 6 months ago. Now I also do high intensity interval training. I also do just a little cardio once a week for my heart and lungs. A year ago a started drinking whey protein shakes. Other then that all I take is a multivitimin. I drink a gallon of water a day too.\n\nOne more thing, the aspartame thing is a myth. I drink it in diet soda all the time. \nhttp://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp

Lipids are always fats. There are animal fats and vegetable fats. Within those two groups, there are also "saturated" fats and "unsaturated" fats ... that only means differences in the number of hydrogen atoms that are part of the fat molecule. Lipids have the highest calorie rating of any of the foods for the same size portion. They are an "energy-dense" food. The right kinds of fats are "essential" and MUST be eaten every day! A blanket condemnation of "fat" is seriously wrong. \n\nThere are good, essential, fats. These are not man-made (like trans-fats or hydrogenated fats). The best fats are monosaturated fats like cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, medium chain fatty acids like organic extra-virgin coconut oil (yes, it's a saturated fat ... and in this case, that's OK), the fat from only grass-fed, free-range animals, organic hemp oil, hemp seeds, flax oil, flax seeds, nuts and nut oils.\n\nFat helps us feel "satisfied", and in the end, we may eat fewer calories; it also "slows down" the insulin "hit" that too many carbs can initiate or too high-glycemic carbs can produce (i.e. stay away from sugary foods).\n\nCarbohydrates are necessary for life. If you do not eat them, then expensive protein is broken down to "make" carbs! Your brain needs good carbs for fuel. The best carbs for diabetics are veggies. The less sweet (lower "glycemic" ones) are best, but you can have a few sweet peas or corn or sweet potatoes etc, (which are more concentrated, higher glycemic types) as long as there are not lots (maybe 1/2 cup max) and they are eaten with a little fat or protein. Fruit is healthy, but should always be a second choice to vegetables. Fruits should also be ranked according to sweetness. Tomatoes and avocados are fruits, and these are good choices, as are lemons, limes etc. Apples have chromium in their skin, and that helps diabetics. All sugars are carbs, and processed sugars and honey etc are to be largely avoided. Artificial sweeteners stimulate insulin and there is NO benefit to using them ... in fact, there are many reasons NOT to use them.\n\nThere are combo foods. Milk is one of them. It is both a carb (milk sugars) and protein food. It's fairly balanced.\n\nProtein is best limited to protect kidney health, and about 6 oz. of protein a day will be adequate for most people. Organic, free-range, Omega-3 eggs are a very good protein source, and there is no longer a tight restriction about numbers of eggs to eat per week. Fish from clean waters is another good choice. Cheese, nuts and for some people, soy are other options, as are free-range, grass fed animals.\n\nAmpalaya (bitter melon) found in Asian markets, bilberries and cinnamon, and many other foods have been found to be specifically beneficial for diabetics. If you use these, make sure you are taking more frequent blood sugar readings so you know how responsive your body is to their blood-sugar lowering capabilities. \n\nIt is better to eat 6 smaller meals, fairly evenly spaced through the day onward to a bedtime snack, than to eat just 3 meals a day. I hope this helped. Make sure you are well-hydrated, only use water!\n\nTo learn more about possibly ameliorating or even reversing diabetes, read www.watercure.com   www.phmiracleliving.com  \n\nBest to all ...

I think you're referring to ketones, and 20 or below is a small amount, nothing to worry about.\n\ncheck this out   http://www.diaglab.vet.cornell.edu/clinpath/modules/ua-rout/ketstix.htm

I wish more questions would be made about our food today. When I was a smoker I ate a lot but it wasn't all used by my body. Now I still eat too much and it get used fully. I am thinking that the appetite hormones given to animals in the processed protein meal food is coming down in the processed meat to our bodies. I can't do much about that except move to the wilderness. Food casts are very high in the wilderness. I am aware that I eat to find an emotional balance in my body chemistry. I skip breakfast but eat for the last eight hours way too much. I know sexual activity would remove much overeating but food is cheaper than sex.

The number of calories *is* the total number of calories.  Calories only come from protein, fat, or carbs.  So listing the "calories from fat" is just telling you the fat calories.  If you add up the number of calories from protein, fat, and carbs, you should get the total number of calories- the number on the label after "calories."\n\nPcal + Fcal + Ccal = Total Calories.\n\nSo yes, that first calorie reading is what is contributing to your total calorie intake.  The rest just tell you what the calories consist of.
