Energy and macronutrient intakes of Montenegrin adults: insights from the EFSA EU Menu National Survey (2017–2022)
The Montenegrin diet is characterized by high fat and protein intake and low carbohydrate contribution, reflecting Western dietary trends observed in the region. These findings highlight the need for national dietary guidelines promoting balanced macronutrient distribution and increased consumption of plant-based foods to mitigate NCD risks and align with European nutrition and sustainability goals.
