Food Journals from Weston A Price Foundation

I came across this link recently which highlighted three days of meals from the Weston A Price Foundation board members.     It’s interesting, to say the least.   For some reason, I thought the foods they choose would be lower in carboydrates and higher in protein than they are.   I don’t know why I thought that as there are plenty of carbohydrate-rich foods available on a traditional diet: sourdough bread, honey, potatoes.   But their meals are rich in fat with approximately 60% of daily calories coming from nourishing fats like duck fat, butter and extra virgin olive oil.

In general, my diet varies from day to day in the number of calories I consume.   Still, the the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrates tend to stay roughly the same with fat comprising 50% of my calories and carbohydrates and proteins comprising roughly 25% each.   I don’t diet in general so all of that means little for me, but I do try to eat well.
