Summary Introduction
To discuss: The possible nutrient shortfalls and excesses in typical males and females with reasons.

The acceptable macronutrient distributions ranges in adults for fat are 20-30 percent of calories, protiens are 10-35 percent of calories, and for carbohydrates are 45-65 percent of calories.
