A healthy, balanced diet
should consist of less
than 30% total calorie
intake from fat sources.
Did you know that one
of the most important
nutrients makes up 60-70%
of your body's weight
yet contains no calories???...
Water, that's right. Eight
glasses a day keeps your
body functioning at top
form.
Other
information to keep in
mind:
1 gram of protein = 4

1 gram of carbohydrates
= 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories

calories
As a general guideline,
daily calorie levels for
women should not be less
than 1200, and for men
1500.
