    What am I doing wrong (math+recipe)

    Made ceasar salad dressing from scratch. Somehow I keep getting 34g of fat per tablespoon of dressing which makes no sense to me.

    Here was the recipe:

    Macros = Pro/Carb/Fat/Cal

    2 Lemons, squeezed @ 0/4/0/12 = 0/8/0/24
    1 Lime, squeezed @ 0/2/0/8 = 0/2/0/8
    4 Egg Yolks @ 3/1/15/54 = 12/4/20/216
    500 mL EVOO @ 0/0/9/80 per 10mL = 0/0/450/4000
    1 TBSP Dijon Mustard @ 1/0/2/15 = 1/0/2/15
    Handful of fresh blended Garlic
    1 Teaspoon of Tobasco
    Salt and Pepper


    Made 1000 mL of Ceasar Salad Dressing

    Now assuming my math is right I got a total macro composition of:

    13/14/502/4263 for the entire dressing. If I wanted 1 tablespoon of the litre i divide the macros by 15 no ?


    This is what happens when you give university students a 4 month summer

    I think divide by 1000 and x by 15 is how i'd do it.. dunno tho.. been outta university for 8 years lol.

    13/14/502/4263 = 1000ml

    0.013/0.014/0.502/4.263 = 1ml

    .195/.21/7.53/63.945 = 15ml

    As soon as I saw ml and tbsp in the same equation, I bailed! =P

    Looks like the guys have you sorted anyway. I'll stick to my cups and oz, lol
