What is the definition of an empty calorie food - A calorie is the amount of heat needed to
raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
Foods that contain a lot of calories but have little to no nutritional value (lack vitamins and
minerals)
Examples: junk foods, soda, juice, fast food, etc.
What is the definition of a nutrient-dense food? List 1 example of a nutrient dense food -
Foods that contain a high amount of vitamins and minerals that our bodies use as fuel.
Examples: Any fruit or vegetable would count as a nutrient dense food.

Write the definition of a calorie (as used in the general term) - A calorie is the amount of
heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1
degree Celsius.
Compare and contrast (i.e. explain the similarities and differences) between
undernutrition and overnutrition.
Include the terms' definitions and how they influence health outcomes.
Undernutrition and overnutrition are both considered to be a state of malnutrition. Neither
category is ideal and needs to be addressed and advised to get the individual to a desirable
nutrition status.
The difference between over and undernutrition is the total intake amount of nutrients and
calories.
If an individual falls into the undernutrition category they are not consuming enough
nutrients to support a healthy body. These individuals become depleted and lethargic.
,If an individual falls into the overnutrition category they are overconsuming calories and
nutrients.
Explain the difference between undernutrition and malnutrition - Undernutrition is a
specific state when nutrient intake does not meet the needs of the body. Malnutrition
relates to the ill-effects of an unbalanced diet and can come from either undernutrition or
overnutrition.
