Nutrient Classification: Energy Yielding Nutrients - ANSWERS Carbs, Protein, Fats
Nutrient Classification: Macronutrients - ANSWERS Carb, Protein, Lipids, Water
Nutrient Classification: Micronutrients - ANSWERS B Vitamins, Vitamin C, vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin
E, Vitamin K, Calcium, Iron
Nutrient Classification: Inorganic - ANSWERS Minerals, Water
Nutrient Classification: Organic - ANSWERS Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, Vitamins
Amount of Energy Carbohydrates Provides - ANSWERS 4 kcals
Amount of Energy Protein Provides - ANSWERS 4 kcals
Amount of Energy Fat Provides - ANSWERS 9 kcals
, Amount of Energy Alcohol Provides - ANSWERS 7 kcals
Nutrient Density - ANSWERS A measure of nutrient a food provides compared to its energy content i.e.:
broccoli vs. french fries, low-fat milk vs. sweetened iced tea.
Other nutrient dense foods: fruit/nut trail mix, fresh fruit, baked chips, oatmeal raisin cookies
Balance Study - ANSWERS The type of nutrition study that focuses on the amount of nutrient
consumed compared to the nutrient leaving the body
Epidemiological Study - ANSWERS Observing relationships between diet, health and disease patterns in
different food populations
Case Control Studies - ANSWERS Compares individuals with a particular condition to similar individuals
without the condition
Depletion-Repletion Studies - ANSWERS The nutrient is eliminated in the diet until deficiency
symptoms appear. Then the nutrient is added back to the diet to a level which may eliminate the
symptoms
A nutrition supplement or product is considered credible if... - ANSWERS Results were based on
scientific studies that used the proper controls, adequate experimental subjects, and the data was
quantifiable
Adequate Intake (AI) - ANSWERS Established due to insufficient scientific date to establish an EAR and
calculate an RDA
Estimated Average Requirements (EARS) - ANSWERS Amount needed to meet 50% of people in the
same gender and life-stage group
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) - ANSWERS Intakes that meet the needs of nearly all (97-98%)
of individuals in each gender and life-stage group
, Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) - ANSWERS Maximum daily intake that is unlikely to pose a risk of
adverse health effects to almost all individuals in a specific life-stage and gender group
Differences between the energy recommendations AMDR and EER - ANSWERS Estimated Energy
Requirements (EERs): average energy intakes predicted to maintain body weight by calculating the
amount of kilocalories
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs): Intakes of macronutrients (carbohydrate,
protein, and fat) are expressed in %. Expressed as a % of total energy intake
Dietary Guidelines - ANSWERS Nutrition/ lifestyle recommendations published by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. Only recommendation with major emphasis on FOOD SAFETY
MyPlate vs. My Pyramid Differences - ANSWERS Plate Shape vs. Pyramid
Protein Group vs. Meat & Beans
Section on Fats and Oils- present on the Pyramid, but not the Plate
Physical Activity Emphasis- Present on the Pyramid, but not the Plate
Exchange Lists - ANSWERS Based on food groups to determine overall energy and macronutrient intake
Healthy People Initiative - ANSWERS National health promotion and disease prevention objectives for
the U.S.
Food Labels - ANSWERS Food and Drug Administration (FDA): regulates all foods except meat and
poultry
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): meats and poultry only
Structure/Function Label Claim - ANSWERS "Calcium builds strong bones"
Nutrient Content Claim - ANSWERS "low" "high" "free" "reduced" "lean""antioxidant"
