    • The guidelines were published in 1990, revised in 2000 and again in 2012.
    • The Food and Nutrition Research Institute - Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) initiated and chaired the creation of the guidelines.
    • The National Nutrition Council approved the guidelines and heads their communication and dissemination.
    • The guidelines are for the general population and include information for feeding infants and children.
    • The guidelines are presented in the form of a pyramid showing levels of recommended consumption.
    • Eat a variety of foods daily.
    • Use iodized salt to prevent iodine deficiency disorders.
    • The pyramid includes messages promoting exercise and personal/environmental hygiene.
    • Pinggang Pinoy supports the pyramid and shows an adequate distribution of nutritious foods in a meal.

    Nutrition During Pregnancy

    • Nutrient needs increase during pregnancy but not proportionally.
    • The recommended daily increase in food throughout pregnancy includes:
      • 3 oz of grains
      • 1 cup of vegetables
      • 1 oz of protein foods
      • 2 tsp of oils
    • Folic acid intake should be increased to 600 mcg daily during pregnancy.
    • Iron intake should increase by 50% during pregnancy to support maternal blood volume and the iron needed for fetal liver storage.

    Nutrition During Lactation

    • Breastfeeding women require an extra 330 calories per day for the first 6 months of lactation and 400 calories for the next 6 months.
    • Women should drink a glass of fluids every time the baby nurses and with all meals.
    • Prolonged inadequate nutrient intake during lactation can compromise infant nutrition, but supplements should be a last resort.

    Energy Intake

    • Calories are estimated by multiplying grams of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and alcohol by their respective calories per gram.
    • The total number of calories in a food can be estimated by multiplying total grams of nutrients by the appropriate calories per gram (4 cal/g for carbohydrates and protein, 9 cal/g for fat, and 7 cal/g for alcohol).

    Energy Expenditure

    • The body uses energy for involuntary activities and purposeful physical activity.

    Calcium

    • Calcium is crucial for bone health and the prevention of chronic diseases.
    • Consuming milk and milk products is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and lower blood pressure.
    • Higher calcium and vitamin D intake is linked to a decrease in colorectal cancer and adenomas.
    • Dairy calcium may help regulate weight and prevent obesity.
    • 43% of adults take calcium supplements, raising concerns about safety, despite people being advised to meet their RDA for calcium through food.
