Carbohydrate Intake from Food (% of energy) in Canada (adult males)

(Definition of Indicator) (Definition of Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range)

A map of Canada showing, by province, the percentage of males age 19 and over with a usual intake of carbohydrate within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range.

Please Note: The CCHS 2.2 does not include data from the Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory or Nunavut. However, the target population covered by the survey represents approximately 98% of the population of the 10 provinces and is thus considered a national survey.
