To recommend daily servings of various foods
How is energy requirement in humans maintained?
$\text{Calorie intake} = \text{Energy expenditure}$

What is the purpose of Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)?
To provide nutrition to individuals who cannot consume food orally
How is Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) calculated?
Based on the average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all healthy individuals
What do Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) recommend?
Ranges of intake for carbohydrate, fat, and protein as a percentage of total daily energy intake
What is the AMDR for adults regarding proteins?
$20-35 ext{%}$
How are Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) components determined?
$EAR + RDA + AI + UL$
Which nutrients do vegetarians have lower intake of compared to non-vegetarians?

What does Undernutrition refer to?
Nutrient deficiency leading to symptoms
What is the purpose of the Food Pyramid?
To provide dietary guidelines and goals for healthy eating
What are Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) & Adequate Intake (AI) components of?
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)

Excessive nutrient intake causing health issues
Study Notes
- Malnutrition in humans can be assessed through dietary intake studies, biochemical studies, and clinical symptoms.
- Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) provide quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes required to prevent deficiencies and maintain optimal health.
- DRIs include Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).
- RDA is calculated as EAR plus two standard deviations (SD).
- Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) recommend the adequate intake of macronutrients for reduced risk of chronic diseases.
- Food pyramid is a public educational tool to recommend daily servings of various foods.
- Energy requirement in humans is maintained by calorie intake and energy expenditure.
- Vegetarians have lower intake of iron, calcium, and vitamin D, but consume enough protein and less total dietary fat.
- Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a type of exogenous nutrition provided intravenously or through tube feeding for terminally-ill patients.
- Standard composition of TPN feed includes energy content, nitrogen, fat, glucose, and electrolytes, trace elements, and vitamins.
- Continuous biochemical, hematological, and immunological monitoring is required for patients on TPN.
- Malnutrition is measured through dietary intake studies, biochemical studies, and clinical symptoms.
- DRIs include EAR, RDA, AI, and UL to prevent deficiencies and maintain optimal health.
- RDA is calculated as EAR plus two standard deviations.
- AMDR recommends the adequate intake of macronutrients for chronic disease prevention.
- Food pyramid recommends daily servings of various foods for a healthy diet.
- Energy requirement in humans is maintained by calorie intake and energy expenditure.
- Vegetarians have lower intake of iron, calcium, and vitamin D but consume enough protein and less total dietary fat.
- TPN is a type of exogenous nutrition for terminally-ill patients, and standard composition of TPN feed includes energy content, nitrogen, fat, glucose, and essential nutrients.
- Continuous monitoring is required for patients on TPN due to individual nutritional requirements and potential complications.
