Carbohydrate, fat, and protein ratio (60:20:20% calories) represents the percentage of dietary calories provided by each nutrient category. Diet cholesterol was added at 1% by weight, and margarine B was a blend of fats common in the U.S. diet. It was based on saturated animal fat as 24% milk fat and 40% beef tallow, with sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from 20% chicken fat and 16% soybean oil. The ratio of saturated to monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids was approximately 44:38:18. The diet was adjusted for vitamin and mineral concentrations as a percentage of calories (4.2 kcal/g). CHO, carbohydrate; prot, protein.
