Study Notes
Energy and Nutritional Concepts
- Energy Balance: Essential to match energy intake with energy expenditure in daily activities.
- Moderation: Achieving a balance in nutrient intake to avoid excesses; empty calories can be consumed occasionally.
- Nutrient Density: Prioritizing foods that provide high nutrients relative to their calorie content; focuses on maximizing nutrient intake with fewer calories.
- Variety: Consuming a wide selection of foods within each food group to meet nutrient needs.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)
- Developed by USDA and DHHS to form the foundation of federal nutrition policy.
- Science-based guidelines aimed at improving overall health; first issued in 1980 and revised every five years.
- Encourage healthier eating patterns, such as increasing vegetable intake and decreasing refined grains.
Food Group Plans
- Historical Context: U.S. food group planning started with the USDA Daily Food Guide in 1916, evolving to MyPlate in 2010.
- MyPlate Principles:
- Emphasizes portion control and nutrient-rich food choices.
- Encourages half the plate to consist of fruits and vegetables and water consumption over sugary beverages.
- Promotes whole grains over refined grains.
Nutritional Components
- Grains: Preference for whole grains; enriched foods have nutrients added back after processing, while fortified foods contain additional nutrients.
- Legumes: Defined by their splitting seed pods; important pulse examples include beans, lentils, and peanuts, which are nutrient-dense and economical.
- Fruits: Focus on citrus and yellow-orange varieties; processed fruits can serve as acceptable alternatives to fresh.
- Meat, Fish, and Poultry: Provide key nutrients such as protein, essential minerals, and B vitamins.
Nutrition Assessment Methods
- Types of Assessment:
- Anthropometric: Measurements of body composition.
- Biochemical: Laboratory tests for nutrient levels.
- Clinical: Observations of physical health.
- Dietary Intake: Analysis of food consumption patterns.
- Key Techniques: Include diet history, food records, food frequency questionnaires, and 24-hour recall.
- Comparative Analysis: Evaluating dietary intake against dietary standards and guidelines.
