Body needs 2000 - 3000 Kcals daily for its regular work. One gram of protein & carbohydrate provides 4 cals each, while one gram of fat contains 9 cal. Therefore we need 100gm of proteins, 100gm of fat & 600gm of carbohydrates daily. The daily requirement varies depending upon the level of daily activity.
2. Vitamins, Minerals, fibres: Just like vitamins, minerals help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy.
