In nutrition, it is not the more the better. It is the matter of balance up everything to meet our individual needs. Many people will then ask, how do I know whether I am getting enough or not? And how much is not too much? As dietitians/nutritionists, we will do an individualized assessment of daily energy expenditure and intake to get an idea whether a person is taking enough or not. This involves some calculation and understanding of the calories contents of foods and calories expenditure during certain activity within 24 hours.
For general guideline, you may refer to the table of Recommended Nutrient Intake for Malaysia 2005.
Being Happy!
