Why don’t some foods fall into multiple categories? Peanut butter, for example, has all 3 in it, right? What about orange juice, which has all 3, too?

Peanut butter = fat
milk = hmm. good one. Probably carb and protein...i never thought about this before, actually. (I don't eat dairy LOL unless it's ice cream)
yogurt = i would probably consider it along the same lines as milk...
Orange juice = definitely a carb. High glycemic one.... (quick-burning).
Almost all foods have trace amounts of other macros. Even lean chicken has fat. But it is such a small amount, that when i do my calculations i consider it a protein source.
Random thought (just a vent, not directed to anyone). I hear this ALLLL the time.... if someone says "oh i crave PB all the time", someone else ALWAYS says, "oh, you are craving protein". What the?? Yes there is a bit of protein in there, but PB is considered a fat source. And beyond that, only meat-protein (and soya, right?) are complete proteins....PB not being a complete protein (having all the amino acids). So if you are "craving protein", woudln't it make more sense to crave something in the meat department? Our bodies are pretty smart. So yeah. Sorry. PB is fat. If you crave PB, it's probably cause you want fat. And because it's yummy.
