Two suggestions:
1. Use raw_input instead of input or errors will occur should users
enter non-numeric characters.

2. Convert cal and fat to ints or floats for your calculations... maybe
something like this:
try:
int(cal):
except ValueError,e
sys.exit(str(e) + "Enter a number!!!")
This will catch things that cannot be converted to an int (bad user input)
Besides that, I'm pretty sure your calculations are wrong.
