Six Basic Diet-Planning Principles
- Adequacy means the diet provides enough energy and all essential nutrients to meet healthy people's needs.
- Dietary balance involves consuming enough of each type of food, not too much, to prevent deficiency symptoms.
- People need to consume whole grains, vegetables, and fruits to balance the diet and get all the essential nutrients.
- Kcalorie control requires careful planning and selecting high nutrient density foods to balance the amount of energy coming into the body and being used by the body.
- Nutrient-dense foods deliver the most nutrients for the least food energy, and people can meet daily nutrient needs on a lower energy budget.
- Foods that are notably low in nutrient density, such as potato chips, candy, and colas, are sometimes called empty-kcalorie foods.
- The concept of nutrient profiling ranks foods based on their overall nutrient composition, which will help consumers identify nutritious foods and plan healthy diets.
- Moderation means eating foods rich in fat and sugar only occasionally and regularly selecting foods low in solid fats and added sugars to improve nutrient density.
- A person who does not consume enough iron-rich foods may develop iron-deficiency anemia symptoms, such as weakness, tiredness, and frequent headaches.
- People need to consume enough calcium-rich foods, such as milk and milk products, for bone health.
- Meats, fish, and poultry are rich in iron but poor in calcium, while milk and milk products are rich in calcium but poor in iron.
- A balanced diet consists of consuming adequate amounts of all essential nutrients through a variety of foods and in moderation.
