The given charts illustrate the amount of protein and calories consumed by population in different areas of the world, consisting of India, East Africa, Latin America, and North America.
Overall, the figures for protein are proportional to those for calories consumed. In addition, animal resources account for the majority of protein intake in all regions except India. Besides, North Americans are the only people consuming both protein and calories at exceeding ideal rates.
Regarding average protein, the ideal rate is at approximately 62 units, and most countries prioritize animal products rather than others. North America has the highest rate, with most—62 out of a total of 80 units—coming from animals, comprising almost double the rate of Latin America’s figure, with a total of 45. However, with similar rates, East Africans and Indians consume the lowest amounts of protein, at just 31 units and 30 units respectively, with 15 units of animal resources for each.
In terms of gross energy intake, people from North America still manage to get the highest number at 3500 calories, being much higher than that of Latin America by around 750 units and exceeding the ideal rate by 500 units. In contrast, Indian consumers account for a total of 2000 calories, much lower compared to the 3000 units of the ideal rate, while it is around 750 units lower for East Africa, which occupies 2250 calories.
