Description:Estimates of dietary intake are an important part of monitoring the nutritional status of the U.S. population. Assessing dietary intake allows public health agencies and organizations to determine whether the population or subgroups within the population have inadequate intake or excess intake of specific nutrients. Knowing more about nutrient intake may be helpful in addressing the high prevalence of obesity and overweight in the United States as well as other nutrition-related problems. The energy we get from calories is provided by the nutrients protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Figure 1 illustrates the patterns of intake of calories and of these three nutrients in the average diet of selected age groups in the U.S. population. 04-0079 Publication date from document properties. calories.pdf
