How much credibility do you put into those who think they can classify your
metabolic or nutritional type? I'm working on a project for algebra of all
things and I guess the project is to show that you really do use algebra in
daily life.

I took the quiz and it said my metabolic type is "mixed" and said I do
better on carbs rather than proteins or fats. I find it funny that the
author says mixed types have little trouble with their weight. And, I
really answered the questions the best I could.

None. Unless you are somehow a different species to the rest of
humanity, or there is some reason (likely to be a medical problem) that
means you metabolise food differently to everyone else.

What do you mean you "do better" on carbs rather than proteins or fats?

You wouldn't analyze this question with algebra.
This is a job for Q-mode factor analysis (also
known as inverse factor analysis). That is a
statistical technique for identifying groups
within a population.
