We had our diet expressed as nutrients per 1000 calories. This is common convention, helps put it into perspective since you can easily multiply the values by 2 for 2000 kcal, 3 for 3000 kcal, etc. Now to convert to joules we could consider the following: Protein 63.3 g/ 1000 kcal 15 g/ KJ 75.6 g/ 5 KJ Have you seen dietary data expressed any of these other ways (besides per 1000 kcal)? Is there a "convention" under development? Does anyong have a preference? Any help would be appreciated. Phyllis _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._. Phyllis J.
