It is worth mentioning that this standard is not suitable for adult hyperuricemia and gout patients with renal insufficiency and other diseases .

Ask the patient’s physical activity level, and refer to the BMI value to select the appropriate energy coefficient (Table 1)

If the patient is engaged in a job with a static lifestyle, such as white-collar workers, teachers, drivers, etc., they can choose according to the standard of light physical strength; jobs that require standing or walking, such as electricians, housewives, salespersons, etc. , can be selected according to the standard of medium physical strength; for people who are engaged in heavy physical occupation or mainly engaged in heavy physical activities, such as construction workers, miners, stevedores, athletes, dancers, fitness coaches, etc., can be selected according to the standard of heavy physical strength.

Trans fatty acids should be less than 1% of the total energy throughout the day. The daily intake of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid should account for the total daily intake, respectively. 5% to 8% and 1% to 2% of energy. The daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids should account for 10% to 15% of the total energy.
