> Animal metabolism produces about 110 grams of water per 100 grams of fat, 42 grams of water per 100 g of protein and 60 grams of water per 100 g of carbohydrate.
The amounts listed is a bit puzzling. For every gram of glycogen stored (stored carbohydrates) 2-3 grams of water is needed, so naively one would thing the number should be much higher for carbohydrate.
