Your calorie requirements are divided into the three macronutrients carbohydrates, fat and protein.
The percentage distribution of these macronutrients determined in the DNA SLIM TEST results from the individual SNPs that are analysed on the various genes and combined in a specific algorithm.
Based on the general recommendation of the DGE (German Nutrition Society), the daily calorie requirement should consist of > 50 % carbohydrates, about 30 % fat and about 15 % protein. Of course, these figures are only indicative and do not take into account vigorous physical activity, any pre-existing conditions or certain life circumstances (individual variations).
Depending on the metabolic type, the DNA SLIM TEST recommends an average of ~32-66 % carbohydrates, ~19-41 % fat and ~11-30 % protein.
This percentage distribution is also to be understood as an orientation.
Especially, the consumption of protein can be adapted to individual needs. This includes, for example, heavy physical activity and competitive sports.
For someone who has been analysed as a protein type, for example, this still does not mean that this person should consume more protein than carbohydrates, for example.
