To give you an idea, a 4oz piece of chicken has 80 calories of protein (20 grams). You would want to eat 240 more calories of fat with it. Some diets recomend 4-1 fat to protein.
Hey James - do you know why that ratio of fat to protein works? I've read that it's counterproductive to eat too much fat (if you're counting calories) because it can be stored more readily by your body (since it's already fat..), so I'm curious to hear the other side of that.
