●● Essential nutrients
Answer: are nutrients must be derived from food; the body cannot make
them
●● Carbohydrates, fats, proteins
Answer: major fuels, are organic (carbon containing), and energy-
yielding
●● Vitamins
Answer: are organic; yield no energy; facilitate release of energy
●● Minerals
Answer: are inorganic; yield no energy; regulate the release of energy
and other roles
●● Water
Answer: inorganic medium where all body processes take place
,●● 1 kcal
Answer: = 1 calories
●● Carbohydrates and proteins
Answer: both 4 kcals of energy per gram
●● Fat

Answer: goals for individuals; based on solid scientific evidence;
foundation of DRI
●● Adequate Intake (AI)
Answer: goals for individuals; based on less extensive findings and more
on judgement; usually established when there is not enough scientific
evidence to establish an RDA
●● Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)
Answer: goals for groups; average requirements for given life stage and
gender groups
●● Tolerable upper intake level (UL)
Answer: helps prevent nutrient toxicity by establishing upper limits of
intake for nutrients posing a hazard when consumed in excess
●● Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)
