What I meant was the other 75% of the calories. It doesn't matter if 50% are carbs/50% protein, or 80% carbs/20% protein. WOuld the higher carb option be safer for a higher fat percentage of 25%? Make sense?
I had the rice and almond milks in mind when I asked about adding sugar to a product to add more calories. The unsweetened version has a very high fat percentage but is obviously healthier. THere is no change in the sweetened version except the addition of sugar. This raises the caloric content so that the oils/fat are no longer an issue? That seems odd. Make sense?

but that's how it works. from an IBS point of view, adding sugar/carbs, which is really bad from every other point of view, makes it safer as it's the overall fat content that counts.

The general guideline is 25% of calories from fat per day or per meal not per food item like almond milk. As you say the rule doesn't make a lot of sense for a single glass of almond milk. However, if you had it with a tuna sandwich and some fruit then it makes sense. You can have to use common sense when using guidelines such as the calories from fat guideline.

I drink unsweetened chocolate Blue Diamond almond milk with out food regularly. It contains 3.5 grams of fat and 3 grams of carb per per 240 gram (1 cup) of almond milk. I usually only drink 1/2 cup at a time.
