The Science of Kenyan Eating

Runnning Research News is reporting:

The Kenyans were ingesting about 10.4 grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body mass each day, or approximately 4.7 grams per pound of body weight. An amazing facet of the Kenyans'eating habits was the consistency of this carbohydrate intake: Every 24 hours, the Kenyans took in about 600 grams of carbohydrate, with very little variation from day to day. They were truly stocking their leg muscles with glycogen, giving their sinews the right fuel necessary for the high-intensity training they were conducting - and avoiding the fatiguewhich automatically follows on the heels of glycogen wipe-outs....


For me @ 155 lbs, that would equal 728.5 grams of carbs or 2914 kcal. My current diet calls for 1860 kcal (not that I follow this with any rigor).

I wonder if they consume less protein or fat.
