The Black Edition has the following macronutrient breakdown:
Fat: 39%
Carbs: 23%
Protein: 35%
The fat percentage is really high. No diet in the world calls for 40% fat except for the ketogenic diet, but we’re not on keto here.
It should be:
Fat 20%
Carbohydrates 40%
Protein 40%
The thing is, there isn’t one universally accepted macronutrient split that’s considered “correct” for everyone. Nutritional needs vary depending on factors like activity levels, goals and personal preferences.
Huel Black Edition was designed as a higher-protein, lower-carb nutritionally complete meal, not as a ketogenic product. The fat content comes largely from ingredients like flaxseed and canola/rapeseed oil, which provide essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 that your body can’t produce on its own.
We formulated Black Edition to provide balanced nutrition alongside 40g of protein, rather than to meet a specific diet trend or macronutrient ratio.
i take your point Mark.but 40% of calories from fat is bloody high.
