The given bar charts compare four different regions in terms of their protein and calories intake on average.
Overall, of all countries, citizens in North America consumed the largest amount of protein and calories on average, and it was also the only country that achieved an ideal meal intake for these two essential nutrients. What also stands out from the charts is that protein from animals accounts for a larger share than that from other sources in almost all countries surveyed with the exception of India.
As far as protein intake is considered, in North America, around 62 units of protein is from animals, almost triple that from other sources, the total of which exceeds the ideal amount, at nearly 70 units. This was followed by Latin America as the total amount of protein consumed stood at 45 units, with animal-based protein making up a third of the total. The average intake of Indian and East African citizens was relatively similar, ranging from 28 to 31 units. The ratio of protein from animals to others was almost one to one in these 2 countries.
Regarding calories intake, North America recorded the highest amount of calories consumed, at nearly 3500 units, surpassing the ideal amount by nearly 500 units. The total intake of an average person in Latin America almost reaches the ideal level, standing at nearly 3000. The figures for East Africa and India were significantly lower, at 2300 and 2000 respectively.
