Carbohydrates are measured by calories andthe daily limit for the average sized adult is aprox two thousand five hundered per day. Foods rich in carbs are rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. Proteins are used for growth and repair of cells in our body. They also play a vital part in creating enzymes which are vital for healthy bodily functions and processes. The recomended protein limit per day is around fifty five grams. Food with protein sources are all meats, artificial meats such as Quorn and vegetables such as green beans. Fats, although they are portrayed to be bad for us, play a vital role in the supply of energy, the making of cells and membranes and also thermal insulation and hormone creation. We are advised to cap our fat consumption at sixty to seventy grams per day. Unsaturated fats are much better for us and the benefits of eating healthy fats are the decrease of cholesterol levels and the reduced risk of heart disease. Other nutrients we need for a balanced diet are things such as fibre which increases digestive transit, vitamins and minerals which are found in most fruits and vegetables and of course water, which is used for almost every chemical process in the body.
