| Calorie:
The unit for measurement of energy in food is calorie.
In diabetes, 60-70% of total calories should come from
carbohydrates, 20% calories from protein and less than
20% calories from fat. The diet should also contain
40-50 gm of fibre. Salt intake should not be more than
5 gm a day. Calories provide a measure of how much energy
you get from a serving of a food item. Eating too many
calories per day is linked to overweight and obesity.
Health experts also recommend that you keep your intake
of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol and salt
intake as low as possible as part of a balanced diet,
to minimize the risk of high blood pressure and other
diseases, and some cancers. |
