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.
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.
