Question

What are the sources of protein, carbohydrate and fat and what is the correct ratio of their intake?

Answer 1

Good sources of protein are seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beansand peas, soy products, and unsaltednuts and seeds. Protein is also found in dairy products. Protein from plant sources tends to be lower in fat and cholesterol and provides fiber and other health-promoting nutrients.
Protein also has 4 calories per gram. In a healthy diet, about 12 to 20 percent of your total daily calories should come from protein. Your body needs protein for growth, maintenance, and energy.
