Biochemical- measurement of nutrients in blood, urine and fecesC - Clinical - physical exam and
general appearanceD - Dietary- review of dietary intake and assessmentE - Environmental-
background, family history, life style and living conditions
Quiz List and define the three states of nutritional health.
ANS: Desirable nutrition is achieved by eating a variety of foods which provide all the essential
nutrients to support normal body functions.
Over-nutrition is the excess consumption of calories, fats, saturated fats and cholesterol which
increase the risk for chronic disease.
Under-nutrition occurs when nutrient intake does not meet nutrient needs and over time
health begins to decline.
Quiz There are six classes of nutrients. Name the three that supply energy.
ANS: carbohydrates, proteins, and fat
,Quiz The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you
are told that you should not consume any more than 52 % of your calories from carbohydrates,
how many grams of carbohydrates should you eat in a day?
ANS: 2000 x .52 = 1040
1040 calories / 4 = 260 grams of carbs
Quiz If a fudge brownie has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 12 grams of fat.
How many calories are in the brownie?
ANS: Carb: 9 x 4 = 36
Pro: 1 x 4 = 4
Fat: 12 x 9 =108
36 + 4 + 108 = 148 calories
Quiz If a fudge brownie has 12 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat.
How many calories are in the brownie?
ANS: Carb: 12 x 4 = 48
Pro: 2 x 4 = 8
Fat: 10 x 9 =90
48 + 8 + 90 = 146 calories
Quiz There are six classes of nutrients. Name all that regulate body processes.

Quiz Describe in detail the role that the hypothalamus plays in determining whether or not you
feel like eating.
ANS: Hunger center of the brain. Helps to determine hunger, appetite, and satiety.
When we have not eaten for a period of time, the amount of nutrients in the blood begin to
decline. This drop stimulates the feeding center in the hypothalamus which signals us to eat.
,When the nutrient level of the blood begin to rise, the satiety center is activated and our desire
to continue to eat declines.
Quiz If a fudge brownie has 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 gram of protein and 16 grams of fat.
How many calories are in the brownie?
ANS: Carb: 22 x 4 = 88
Pro: 2 x 4 = 8
Fat: 16 x 9 =144
88 + 8 + 144 = 240 calories
Quiz Explain the differences between hunger and appetite.
ANS: hunger: internal drive, negative sensation
appetite: external drive, positive sensation
Hunger is the internal drive to find and eat food. It is often experienced as a negative sensation.
Appetite is the external drive that encourages us to find and eat food. It is related to pleasant
sensations associated with food.
Quiz MyPlate illustrates 3 concepts. Name the concepts.

Balance, variety and moderation
The three key dietary principles of the Dietary Guidelines are
1. Meet nutritional needs primarily from nutrient dense foods and beverages
2. Choose a variety of options from each food group
3. Pay attention to portion size
Quiz The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you
are told that you should not consume any more than 61 % of your calories from protein, how
many grams of protein should you eat in a day?
ANS: 2000 x .61 = 1220
1220 calories / 4 = 305 grams of protein
Quiz There are six classes of nutrients. Name all that provide structure.
, ANS: Protein, fat, mineral and water
Quiz The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you
are told that you should not consume any more than 23 % of your calories from fat, how many
grams of fat should you eat in a day?
ANS: 2000 x .23 = 460
460 calories / 9 = 51.1 grams of fat
Quiz Name the key hormone that causes a feeling of hunger. Indicate where in the body it is
produced and the process by which it operates.
ANS: Ghrelin is produced by the stomach and travels to the brain to stimulate the hunger
center as it deactivates the satiety center.
Quiz Name the key hormone that causes a feeling of satiety. Indicate where in the body it is
produced and the process by which it operates.
ANS: Leptin is produced by the fat cells which are also known as adipose tissue. The role of
leptin is to alert the brain to turn off the hunger center and activate the satiety center when
consuming a meal.
Quiz Name the four types of external forces that influence our eating habits and patterns and
give an example of how you experience each in your life.
ANS: Sensory. Ex. smell of the food
Cognitive. Ex. comfort foods or habits learned from parents
