Perfect Food?
According to Lyle McDonald, the perfect diet has a ratio of 1 calorie from
protein to 1.5 calories from fat. Does anyone know of a food that has this sort of ratio without adding stuff to it? Failing that, do you know of simple recipes that create this ratio? |

Perhaps beef, lamb and pork meat will do fine (as you can trim the fat to match the ratio). Or make an omelet of 2 whites and 1 yolk. |

Allowing a 5% variance, and up to 5% carbs, gives... http://www.delorie.com/health/ns/par...e= pc&group=0 (or, go to http://www.delorie.com/health/ns/ and do your own searches ;-) Looks like cheese, eggs, and meat :-) Failing that, do you know of simple recipes that create this ratio? Can of chicken, add mayo. Chicken is 98% protein, mayo is 98% fat, mix in whatever ratios you want. |
