Nutritional Ratios

Nutritional ratios are tools used to evaluate the balance of different nutrients in a food or diet, helping to ensure proper health and energy. They compare amounts of key nutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—to determine if a meal or diet is well-rounded or might be lacking in certain areas. For example, the ratio of healthy fats to total fats or the balance between carbs and protein. These ratios help dietitians and individuals assess nutritional quality, guiding better food choices to support overall wellness.
