[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calories come from 3 macronutrients: fat, carbohydrate, and protein. So if you are trying to do both low carb and low fat, you should, by definition, be going with high protein.

Of course that's not really how people eat. But our daily calories have to all come from those three groups. Balancing them in the right way for your body is key. For most Americans, we are eating way too many of our calories from carbohydrates, as we have been told to do since the low fat thing that started in the 70s and 80s.

My advice for planning a party with healthy food is to have things like rich dips (baba ganoush or spinach artichoke dip for ex) with veggie dippers like carrots and cukes - you can cut the veg into planks. Grill some chicken drumsticks and serve with a big green salad tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. Make herbal iced tea in an interesting flavor. White wine for adults.

Just go with "real" home cooked food and don't put out doritos, sodas, and other party crap.[/quote]
Thank you!  Jason, right ?  [/quote]
