ICMR-NIN reference shares of calories from carbohydrate, protein and fat for a healthy adult.
Carbs provide 4 kcal/gram. The ICMR-NIN Dietary Guidelines for Indians (2024) say a balanced diet should give about 50-55% of calories from carbohydrates, 10-15% from protein and 20-30% from fat, with no more than 45% of calories from cereals and millets. This page shows those reference shares for the calories you enter; it does not adjust for goals such as weight loss, low carb or athletic training. Millets (ragi, bajra, jowar) are good fibre-rich carb sources. Source:
