See Table 5: 15 % ultra-processed foods represent 2·25 % of ultra-processed animal energy content among the 15 % (i.e., two servings per week) and 12·75 % of plant energy content among the 85 % (i.e., twelve servings per week); the diet comprises 12·1, 35·2 and 52·7 % of protein, lipid and carbohydrate energy content, respectively; 20·2, 33·7 and 14·5 % of fruits/vegetables, whole grains/legumes/nuts and added fat/sugar energy content, respectively, based on 1·5 l/d of mineral water.

For an adult weighing 70 kg.
Daily intakes of macronutrients are only indicative because recommendations are 10–20 % for proteins, 40–55 % for carbohydrates and 35–40 % for lipids.
Simple sugars from added sugars, fruit juices and honey.
Conversion rates of ALA to EPA and DHA are on average 14 % (8–20) and 5 % (0·5–9), respectively(65).
Including β-carotene converted to vitamin A (where 12 mg β-carotene = 1 mg vitamin A equivalent).
