Yes I think you're nitpicking lol - several things:
- It doesn't matter whether the calories come from carbohydrates or fat, especially not when you're dealing with such a small figure. They end up the same way.
- You're having at least 3 scoops of protein powder a day. This should not be necessary, hell these 3 alone will likely provide your protein requirement for the day - something's wrong here.
- It's 160 Calories per scoop, 45 from fat.
You can kill yourself with the anxiety of worrying about eating such things; fat is healthy and essential, these minute quantities won't amount to anything you can notice.
Thanks for your reply... I know that fat is essential, but scooby teaches us that no more than 10% of the calories in the food we eat should come from fat when operating under a muscle-gain/lose-fat diet. I agree that one scoop out of the meal is a very small number, and while my inclination is to think that this really won't have a significant effect, the health nut part of me is paranoid that this could have negative effects.
Here is Scooby's video on label reading, which describes that no more than 10% of the calories in your meal should be from fat... granted that this scoop doesn't constitute the entire meal:
Reading Nutritional LabelsThis video also demonstrates that for a 160 lbs person, an intake of 160 grams of protein spread throughout the day is necessary... so I disagree when you say that the three meals above alone are enough to satisfy the daily protein quota.
Here is also another nutritional video where he demonstrates that adding whey protein to multiple meals per day is not wrong, and is necessary for people who don't have the time to plan out their meals on a regular basis every single day:
