-20-35% calories from fat
animal studies Correct Answers -type of nutritional studies
, -conducted to mode possible effects of diets on humans
-avoid cost and ethical concerns of using human subjects
Assessing Nutritional Status Correct Answers 1. determine
typical food intake
2. analyze nutrient intake
3. evaluate physical health
4. consider medical history and lifestyle
5. assess with laboratory tests
Atom Correct Answers smallest unit of an element that retains
the properties of that element
balance Correct Answers fod choices do not overemphasize
one nutrient or food type at the expense of another
-no "good" or "bad" food; only healthy diets and unhealthy diets
-balance a low nutrient density food choice with nutrient dense
ones

weight control via "portion control" which helps to prevent
exceeding calorie recommendations
Bile (from gallbladder) Correct Answers -digestive fluid
containing bile acids and cholesterol
