Not a review per-se, but a correction/inquiry...

Shannon says:

"After you have figured out the contribution of your carbohydrate calories to the diet, add this to the contribution of your protein calories (remember both carbohydrates and fat supply four calories per gram) and then subtract this from your daily total calorie allotment. The final number you get there will determine how many calories should come from fat so divide by 9 in order to get total number of grams."

I think she means carbs and proteins supply 4 cals per gram. Fats supply 9 cals per gram. Correct?

Just want to get that clarified for newbies like myself.

I'm coming into this a bit late, but for those who may be doing the same...

Correct. I'm actually surprised at the lack of discussion here.

One other query/possible correction:

Shannon says:

"Generally an intake of 0.33 grams of carbs per pound of body weight is recommended (so 40-80 grams for most people) for each meal..."

For each meal? This doesn't seem right and could be quite confusing to noobs like myself.
