Beans, grains for example? They provide carbohydrates and protein.
- tracker1 8y agoGiven the reference to Barley as specifically a significant portion of the diet as part of that 78%, why do you think that Beans/grains would be excluded in that number?
- rebuilder 8y agoI don't. I was listing vegetarian protein sources they might have used. Foods are not just carbohydrates or protein or fat, they're a mix. Saying 78% of their calories came from carbohydrates just describes the macronutrients their diet provided. If you were to eat just beans (not recommended!), you might arrive at a ratio of about 80-90% carbs.
