The Proof is in the Pudding
Please take a moment to look at the following data and see how it relates to you.
This table represents those men ages 31-50 who are below the BMI standards, who meet the BMI standards, who are overweight, and those who are obese. The focus on this table is the men who are over weight and obese. These two subgroups make up 78% of the total population. This is a major issue and needs to be taken very seriously.
The table below represents the top 3 nutrients of concern: sodium, iron, and saturated fat for your age group. Too many men are consuming a very large amount of sodium. Nearly 98% of the population consumed more than 3/3 what they should have. Next was saturated fat and 73% of men of your age consume an excess amount of saturated fat. Finally, Iron was another nutrient of concern. It is not necessarily about going over the iron DRI but rather being under.
