Carbohydrates- calories 60to 65%
Proteins - calories 15to 20%
Fats - caloreis 15 to 25%
Cereals, roots and pulses are rich in such complex carbohydrates
Rapidly absorbed sugars and foods containing monosaccharides raise the blood sugar faster and thus have a high glycaemic index
Proteins in general increase glucagon secretion as well. One gram of protein provides four calories of energy. An adult requires a minimum of 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight .
The total calorie intake from fats must not exceed 20% to 30%. Saturated fat, PUFA and MUFA are provided in a ratio of 1:1:1.
