The ideal ratio of energy obtained from these components is 65% from Carbohydrates, 20% from Fat and 15% from protein.More than 30% of energy available in this product is from FAT, which is 50% more than the ideal amount. Foods with High Fat are often loaded with Saturated Fat and Trans Fat both of which contribute to life style diseases including diabetes, obesity or Cardiovascular.Again, one should not go on the other extreme of having low fat diet as some amount of fat is required for various bodily functions like storing of energy, absorption of fat soluble vitamins such Vitamin A, D, E and K, insulate us and protect vital organs besides synthesis of specific hormones and cell membrane formation.Thus, it is important to eat food which has each nutrient in the right quantity and limit food products that give too much of one nutrient.
