In 2006 the typical American diet was about 2,200 kilocalories (9,200 kJ) per day, with 50% of calories from carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 35% fat. [7] These macronutrient intakes fall within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) for adults identified by the Food and Nutrition Board of the United States Institute of Medicine ...

Dietary habits play a significant role in the health and mortality of all humans. Imbalances between the consumed fuels and expended energy results in either starvation or excessive reserves of adipose tissue, known as body fat. [162] Poor intake of various vitamins and minerals can lead to diseases that can have far-reaching effects on health.
Meat can be cured by smoking, which preserves and flavors food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering wood. [73] Other methods of curing include pickling, salting, and air-drying. [74] Some recipes call for raw meat; steak tartare is made from minced raw beef. [75] Pâtés are made with ground meat and fat, often including liver. [76]
On the basic level, these factors are meat grain, the amount and composition of connective tissue, and the amount of fat. [1] In order to obtain a tender meat, there is a complex interplay between the animal's pasture, age, species, breed, protein intake, calcium status, stress before and at killing, and how the meat is treated after slaughter.

The type of fat that is used for energy storage is known as adipose tissue. [7] This adipose tissue is made up adipocytes which store the energy in the chemical bonds of triglycerides. [ 5 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] For example, prior to an animal going through hibernation, an animal will build up large reserves of adipocytes to ensure it has the energy to ...
