There are 4 calories per each gram of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates can be found in its entirety on grains, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and nuts.
In a balanced diet, about 60 percent of calories should come from carbohydrates. The average person aged 19 to 30 years need 1,200 calories per day. Active men can add about 300 calories of carbohydrates for daily consumption.
2. FatFat is essential for survival. Fat serves to form cell walls and is required to transport and absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
In a balanced diet, 15 to 20 percent of daily calories should come from fat. There are 9 calories per gram of fat, which is twice the calories of a gram of carbohydrate, which is why too much fat and not enough exercise can make the weight go up.
The main source of fat on a balanced diet should be unsaturated fats, like salmon, tuna steaks, tilapia or mahimahi is a good source of unsaturated fats.
Saturated fats found in meat, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, margarine, coconut oil and palm oil.
3. ProteinProtein is important for the perfect diet because it serves to build and repair tissue.Skin, hair, nails and muscles are made up of proteins.
For active men, who daily caloric intake of 3,000 to 3,500 calories, protein intake remained on a balanced diet should be 15 to 20 percent (or 640 calories).
Juice with milk, banana, strawberry, mango, yogurt and peanut butter is a good source of protein. Dairy products that claimed to increase muscle usually has high protein content, but should also consider the fat content on packaging labels.
To get a balanced weight, you need to meet all of these components. Do not eat carbs and protein and reproduce it may help you to lose weight, but not by building a balanced diet.
