(2007 is the latest year where statistics are available)

(a) Quote:

"熱量供應方面，96年 [2007] 台灣地區每人每日可由食物中攝取熱量為2,804大卡 * * * 較10年前減少245 大卡（8.1％）

"PFC比率為13:39:48，和理想PFC比率(13:27:60)相較下，顯示國人的膳食結構蛋白質比率尚能符合理想，然而碳水化合物卻攝取不足，脂肪則明顯攝取過量。

"96年 [2007]平均每人肉類可供消費量為74.4公斤，其中豬肉38.6公斤、禽肉30.5公斤、牛羊5.2公斤，較10年前減少2.9公斤；進口供應比率12.5％

(b) Note: Taiwan uses "PCF ratio" but US has "PCF ratio": the ratio of calories from Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat.

(2) The above report is based on raw data coming from Agriculture and Food Agency (AFA), Council of Agriculture (COA), Executive Yuan, Taiwan 行政院農業委員會農糧署.

(a) 臺灣糧食平衡表-總表－九十六年, where page 3 shows:

The 2007 Taiwanese per capita* consumption:

* The "per caput" is used instead, where "caput" is singular (""head" in English) and "capita" is plural ("heads" in English).

(i) total intake a day:
calorie 2,804.31
protein 92.41 g
fat 121.46 g
carbohydrate 342.85 g

(ii)
CEREALS-------------88.26 kg/year or--241.81 g/day, including
rice----------------47.48-------------130.07
wheat---------------36.00-------------98.63  
corn-----------------4.35-------------11.92

STARCHY ROOTS 薯類--21.25-------------58.22, including
sweet potato---------2.38--------------6.53
cassava 樹薯---------8.56-------------23.46
potato--------------10.21-------------21.96

vegetables---------103.80------------284.37
fruits-------------128.39------------351.76
meats (9ncluding poultry, pork and beef)
--------------------74.38------------203.78
eggs----------------17.22-------------47.19
fish and sea food---36.97------------101.30
milk----------------20.46-------------56.04
oils and fats-------25.23-------------69.12

Page 3 demonstrates historical consumption of rice per capita in Taiwan.

1971----------365.81 g/day
1976----------351.01
1980----------289.01
1982----------262.38
1984----------230.59
1987----------200.91
1990----------180.66
1995----------161.93
2000----------143.97
2002----------136.88
2007----------130.07

My comment: The report is mistaken in at least two key aspects:
(a) The pertinent year is 2007, not "去年" (2008); and  
(b) The per capita calorie intake is not "兩千六百七十三大卡" but 2,804.31.

(1) US Department of Agriculture (USDA) presents the website of Mypyramid.gov, which is flexible* about daily calorie intake.

* In contrast to Taiwanese government which tends to be rigid (thanks to an authoritarian streak passed down from the bad old days)

In For Professionals / MyPyramid Food Intake Patterns
http://www.mypyramid.gov/professionals/pdf_food_intake.html

(a) footnote 1 to the Table 1 states,

"Calorie Levels are set across a wide range to accommodate the needs of different individuals. The attached table 'Estimated Daily Calorie Needs' can be used to help assign individuals to the food intake pattern at a particular calorie level.

(b) The attached table at the bottom of the web page indicates, e.g., men of 31-50 can take in daily 2,200 calories (for sedentary lifestyle) or 3,000 (for active lifestyle).

(2) US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) jointly published Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2005 (the next edition will be out in 2010).
http://www.health.gov/DietaryGuidelines/dga2005/document/default.htm

The guideline is a huge pdf document which is not easily downloaded as a whole (I tried twice this afternoon in vain). Fortunately I found this web page which break down the document into manageable bits.

Chapter 6 is titled "Fat" which recommends "Keep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils."

Again, the guideline is for adult. Immediately following this particular recommendation is one for "Specific Population Groups"--"Children and adolescents" in this case.
