Recommended Daily Allowance -

Total Fat - 65g
Protein 50g

Energy - One food Calorie (1 kcal or 1,000 calories) is the amount of digestively available food energy (heat) that will raise the temperature of one kilogram of water one degree Celsius.
Energy intake to the body that is not used up is mostly stored as fat in the fat tissue. Consider the following theoretical calculation. Fat contains about 3,500 kilocalories per pound (32 MJ/kg). If you eat 3,500 kcal more than your body needs, you will put on about a pound of fat.If you burn 3,500 kcal more than you eat, you will lose about a pound of fat.This assumes that all the weight gained and lost is in the form of fat. In reality, muscle and organ mass will change as well.

Carobhydrates
Carbohydrates are an ideal source of energy for the body. This is because they can be converted more readily into glucose, the form of sugar that's transported and used by the body, than can proteins or fats.

Even so, a diet too high in carbohydrates can upset the delicate balance of your body's blood sugar level, resulting in fluctuations in energy and mood that leave you feeling irritated and tired.
It is better to balance your intake of carbohydrates with protein, a little fat and fibre.
There are two types of carbohydrate: complex and simple.

Complex carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrates are often referred to as starch or starchy foods. They are found naturally in foods and also refined in processed foods.

Complex carbohydrates as natural starches are found in: bananas, barley, beans, brown rice, chickpeas, lentils, nuts, oats, parsnips, potatoes, root vegetables, sweet corn, wholegrain cereals, wholemeal breads, wholemeal cereals, wholemeal flour, wholemeal pasta, yams.

Complex carbohydrates as refined starches are found in: biscuits, pastries and cakes, pizzas, sugary processed breakfast cereals, white bread, white flour, white pasta, white rice.

Simple carbohydrates

Simple carbohydrates are also known as sugars. They also exist in either a natural or refined form. Natural sugars are found in fruit and vegetables.

Refined sugars are found in: biscuits, cakes and pastries, chocolate, honey and jams, jellies, brown and white cane sugar, pizzas, prepared foods and sauces, soft drinks, sweets and snack bars.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar) cause tooth decay.

Protein
Proteins are one of the essential food ingredients, described as either first class proteins, or second class proteins, made up of long chain amino acids, either essential or non-essential.

First class proteins contain sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids e.g. meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.

Second class proteins contain just some of the essential amino acids; vegetarian diets need to be carefully balanced, as vegetable proteins are second class.
