This is example of an average daily diet. I realise not everyone eats like this, but a large portion of the population does.

Not only is this diet devoid of nutrients, it is high in nutrient robbers. It takes more energy and nutrients to break this food down, and the food has nothing of any nutritional value to had to the health and wellbeing of the body.

The calorie intake in this example is 2143; the fat intake is a high 71 grams, an almost adequate protein intake of 70 grams; yet a comparatively high carb intake at 272 grams. The sugar is extremely high at 124 grams; the sodium intake is dangerously high at 20.64 grams. There was no Vitamin C consumed in this diet.

Is it easier to see why a diet like this may lead you down a path of sub prime health and potential disease?
