Question

I really need to learn how to do this macronutrient calculation?

Answer 1

Carbohydrate

Total gm of carbohydrates from 3 day analysis= 137.34

1 gm Carbohydrate= 4 calories

137.34 × 4 = 549. 36gm calories from carbohydrate

549.36 / 1347.7 × 100 = 40.76℅ calories from carbohydrate

No not within AMDR recommendation for carbohydrate.

To meet the recommended requirement carbohydrate intake should be increased by atleast 5℅-25℅ to reach 45-65℅

Fiber

Total 3 day intake 10. 84

10. 84 / 1347.7 × 1000= 8.04 gms per 1000 calories

NO recommended intake not met, it is less than the recommended intake of 14 per 1000 calories

To meet the recommendation, fiber intake should be increased by atleast 6 gm

Fat

3 day fat intake= 74.56

1 gm fat = 9 calories

74.56 × 9 = 671.04 gm calories from saturated fat

671. 04 / 1347.7 × 100 = 49.79℅ calories from sat fat

They don't fall below 10℅ and the intake is very high

Intake of saturated fat should be reduced to prevent complications like hypertension, heart attack, high cholesterol etc.

Protein

60 calories

1gm protein = 4 calories

60 × 4 = 240gm calories from protein

240 / 1347.7 ×100 = 17.80℅ calories from protein.
