Way back in the days when I was in Army Basic Infantry Training we probably needed 7500 calories a day just to be able to stand up. So, we ate heavily. Later on when energy requirements dropped the Army gave us a 1500 to 2000 calorie per day diet.

At the same time your maximum allowable consumption of protein is about 40% of your caloric intake. You should split the remaining 60% between fats and carbs. Some folks need more fats than others ~ actually, our Ice Age ancestors did, and even today there are groups that continue to need far more fats than carbs ~ they might even live in regions without carbohydrate resources.

BTW, Seal skin contains Vitamin C.

So we don't need to "give up" carbs to be ok?

Never knew that about seal skin....although, I think I'll stick with orange juice.
