title: Report of the IDECG Working Group on the modulating effect of stressors on the upper and lower limits of lipid and carbohydrate intake. International Dietary Energy Consultative Group.
abstract: The recommended caloric intake should be increased by 2870kJ (670Kcal)/d in the exclusively breast-feeding woman. Of this increase, 10% should be ingested as protein, up to 50% as lipid and no less than 40% as carbohydrate. If weight loss is desired lipid intake can be reduced but carbohydrate intake should be maintained. Of the total energy increment 3% should be supplied by essential fatty acids (linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids) and 0.5% by n-3 fatty acids. The issue of dietary supplementation with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids remains for future research.
