Calories, fat, carbs and protein
How many of each is required in your diet daily if you are fairly active and need to shed that extra 5kg?

Dear Nina
According to international experts, your diet should consist of 10-15% protein, 10% fat and 75% carbohydrate.
The carbs will support your physical activity and the low fat intake will promote weight loss. The energy content of your diet can vary from 1500 to 2000 kcal depending on how active you are.
