§ For both men and women, the percentages do not add up to 100% because calories consumed as alcohol were excluded.
During 2007--2008, the average daily intake of kilocalories was 2,504 kilocalories for men and 1,771 kilocalories for women. Women consumed more energy from carbohydrates than men (50.5% of total daily intake of kilocalories, compared with 47.9% for men). A slight difference was observed in the percentage of kilocalories from protein (15.5% for women and 15.9% for men), and virtually no difference was observed in the percentage of kilocalories from fat (33.6% for men and 33.5% for women).
