Carbohydrate, protein and fat all go in together — and then get taken apart in completely different places, by different enzymes, on different schedules. Set the grams, then walk the meal from mouth to colon and watch each one come apart.

Percentages here are teaching approximations of typical adult physiology; real values vary widely with the meal, the gut, medicines and health conditions. Higher-fibre eating patterns are linked to lower cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes risk across large cohorts and trials strong, but no single food or meal causes or cures a disease. This page describes physiology — it is not dietary or medical advice, and there is no such thing here as a "good" or "bad" meal.
