    https://foodstruct.com/food/cheesecake 5.5g per 100g serving, and it’s a pretty balanced protein. The fat combined with carbs makes it relatively low glycemic index at 50. Also at about 5:1 carbs to protein it’s pretty close to the 4:1 ratio recommended for endurance athletes by Edmund R. Burke, PhD. One of my professors would say, “There are no junk foods only junk diets.”

      People are always talking ‘miles per gallon’. I had a nerdy friend who kept the data and tracked ‘dollars per mile’.

        Pretty easy to do in excel. Or on a napkin.

        I bought my Honda Civic about 9 years ago for, let’s just say 20k including interest on the loan. I could look more into it, but let’s say $500 a year on average for service and $1000 a year on insurance. Gas has been pretty constantly $3/gal and mileage at 30 miles per gallon so that’s ten cents a mile. Driven 110,000 miles so that’s $11,000 in gasoline.

        So all and all ownership has been about 20k+4.5k+9k+11k or $45,000 divided by 110,000 miles.

        That’s about 40 cents a mile. Woooo! I’m probably under estimating the service costs as they have really escalated recently. The IRS says it costs 55 cents a mile to service a car. So yeah. You shouldn’t think of any short trip as free. It probably costs 50 cents to drive every mile.

      I have a spreadsheet I put in price, calories, and macros. Tells me everything like cal/$ , each macro /$, but most importantly my final weighted value based on those things that gives me a rough “best” foods, with color scaling, that arent pure carbs.
