The given graphs compare the consumption of the two important nutrients, proteins and calories, in major areas of the world.
At first glance, North America is the only place whose means of calories and protein intake outnumber the suggested amount. Thus, despite the differences in proportion, the index ranking, from lowest to highest, remains unchanged.
India and East Africa consume the least amount of protein, around 30 units—significantly below the advised amount—yet, have rather balanced sources of protein. Latin Americans prefer fish and meat as their main sources of protein. That rationalizes why they still have higher protein intake overall than people of the first two mentioned sectors, despite eating less protein from other sources; nonetheless, they still miss the recommended units of proteins per day. North Americans’ daily protein intake surpasses the suggested amount by about ten units, still, closer to the recommended level than any other region in comparison.
Regarding the calorie intake, it is recommended that individuals should have approximately 3000 calories per day. Indians only have about two-thirds of that number while those in East Africa consume slightly more, but not by a substantial extent; North Americans go over the rate and reach 3500 calories per day. Latin America is the only region where the average calorie intake aligns closely with the recommended amount.
