Study Notes
Meal Management Principles
- Meal: A single instance of eating, typically a combination of dishes/courses.
- Management: Planning, organizing, directing, and controlling to achieve goals efficiently.
- Meal Management: Planning, purchasing, preparing, and serving food to meet nutritional needs and preferences. It's using resources to provide adequate meals for diners.
- Meal Manager: Someone responsible for preparing and serving meals using available resources to meet goals.
- Menu: List of food and beverage options available for consumption.
- Meal-Related Activities: Tasks performed by a meal manager (e.g., shopping, cooking, cleaning).
- Work Simplification: Completing tasks in the simplest way possible to save time and energy.
Principles of Nutrition
- Adequacy: Consuming enough energy and nutrients to meet the needs of healthy individuals. Example: Replacing daily iron loss to prevent anemia.
- Balance: Eating a variety of foods in the right proportions to get needed nutrients without excess of any one food. Example: Getting enough iron and calcium. Healthy diet is 10-30% protein, 50-65% carbs, and 10-35% fats.
- Energy Control: Aligning food energy intake with the body's energy needs (metabolism/activity). Poor control leads to weight fluctuations, and managing calorie intake is important.
- Nutrient Density: Choosing foods that provide the most nutrients with the fewest calories. Example: Fat-free milk has same calcium with fewer calories than full-fat milk. Empty calorie foods provide energy from sugars/fats with minimal nutrients (e.g., potato chips).
- Moderation: Consuming foods high in solid fats and added sugars occasionally while frequently opting for choices lower in these substances. Example: Choosing fat-free milk over cheese to reduce saturated fat and calories.
- Variety: Consuming diverse foods from different food groups daily to obtain different nutrients. Example: Strawberries (vitamin C) vs. Apricots (vitamin A). Diversity maintains a healthy and interesting diet, and prevents harmful substances.
- Consistency: Eating meals at consistent intervals to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. Higher fiber intake can help manage blood sugar spikes.
- Time Efficiency: Meal planning and streamlined cooking processes to maintain a healthy eating routine.
- Financial Considerations: Meal planning that reduces waste and optimizes resource use for better budgeting.
10 Principles of Nutrition
- Basic Human Need: Food is essential for optimal health.
- Energy and Nutrients: Food provides energy, nutrients, and other substances for growth and health maintenance.
- Cellular Origin: Nutrition-related health issues originate within cells.
- Inadequate/Excessive Intake: Poor nutrition can result from too little or too much of a nutrient.
- Adaptive Mechanisms: People have systems for adjusting to changes in food intake.
- Malnutrition Causes: Malnutrition can stem from poor diet, disease, genetics, or a combination.
- High-Risk Groups: Certain groups (pregnant/lactating, infants, sick/elderly) have greater nutrient needs.
- Chronic Disease Influence: Poor nutrition can contribute to the development of some chronic diseases.
