And it looks like they use g rather than kcal to get the carbo : protein : fat ratio. So, which is correct : g or kcal?

Just for the amusement of some analysis-paralysis fagots at LYN:
SI 1 kilogram is equal to 2.1480764331E+16 calories

Fat: 1 gram ~ 9 calories
Protein: 1 gram ~ 4 calories
Carbohydrates: 1 gram ~ 4 calories
Alcohol: 1 gram ~ 7 calories

...conversion between the two must be hard too, I guess.

TBH, I wasn't thinking that conversions of g to kcal would have been that simple on the premise that the heat values may be different from food to food. E.g. non-poultry meat would have streaky fat in them if you look at beef, pork, dear, compared to chicken.

This is ludicrous.

All organisms get their energy from the same source, primary the solar sun. Trophic dynamics (ecology) of a biomass obeyed the law of Conservation of energy. Be it from different food samples they all add up the same in the end.

Enough flattering with the few fagots at LYN.
