The two bar charts provide a breakdown on consumption of protein and calories by people from four regions of the world. Generally, the inhabitants of North America have the highest intake of both, and this is also the only region where overconsumption of protein and calorie occurs.
The average protein intake of North Americans is 80 units, exceeding the ideal value by 10. There are 62 units of protein derived from animals, while the remaining amount originates from other sources. Latin Americans report the second highest consumption, with 45 units, nearly three quarters of which is from animals. The figures for East Africans and Indians are 31 and 28 units, respectively. Notably, India is the only region where the share of non-animal protein consumed is over 50%, with 15 units.
With regard to calorie intake, people from North America record a figure of 3500 calories, which is 600 above the recommended value. This is followed by the data of Latin America, where inhabitants’ average intake hover around 2800 calories, 100 short of the ideal threshold. About 2300 and 2000 calories are consumed by East Africans and Indians, correspondingly. Indians display the lowest figure out of all regions, at approximately two-thirds of the recommended consumption.
