Q

help to keep nutrient intakes below the amounts that increase the risk of toxicity

21
Q

set at a level of energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy adult of a defined age, gender, weight, height, and physical activity level.

A

ESTIMATED ENERGY REQUIREMENTS (EER)

22
Q

To that end, the committee established healthy ranges of intakes for the energy-yielding nutrients carbohydrate, fat, and protein

A

ACCEPTABLE MACRONUTRIENTS DISTRIBUTION RANGES (AMDR)

Q

percent of kcalories from carbohydrates

10-35
26
overconsumption of food energy or nutrients sufficient to cause disease or increased susceptibility to disease, a form of malnutrition.
OVERNUTRITION
27
under consumption of food energy or nutrients severe enough to cause disease or increased susceptibility to disease, a form of malnutrition.
UNDERNUTRITION
28
six characteristics of nutrious diet
ADEQUACY BALANCE KCALORIE (ENERGY) CONTROL NUTRIENT DENSITY MODERATION VARIETY
29
characteristic of a diet that provides all the essential nutrients, fiber, and energy necessary to maintain health and body weight
ADEQUACY
30
dietary characteristic of providing foods in proportion to one another and in proportion to the body's needs
BALANCE
31
Foods provide the amount of energy needed to maintain a healthy body weight-not more, not less
KCALORIE (ENERGY) CONTROL
32
measure of the nutrients a food provides relative to the energy it provides. The more nutrients and the fewer kcalories, the higher the nutrient density
NUTRIENT DENSITY
33
the provision of enough, but not too much, of a substance
MODERATION
34
consumption of a wide selection of foods within and among the major food groups
VARIETY
35
describes a lifestyle that includes only the activities typical of day-to-day life
SEDENTARY
36
describes a lifestyle that includes physical activity equivalent to walking more than 3 miles per day at a rate of 3 to 4 miles per hour, in addition to the activities typical of day- to-day
ACTIVE
37
requires food labels to include key nutrition facts
FDA
38
provides such information as serving sizes, Daily Values, and nutrient quantities.
NUTRITION FACTS PANELS
39
provides a ballpark estimate of how individual foods contribute to the total diet. It compares key nutrients in a serving of food with the daily goals of a person consuming 2000 kcalories
% DAILY VALUE
40
statements that characterize the quantity of a nutrient in a food
NUTRIENT CLAIMS
41
statements that characterize the relationship between a nutrient or other substance in food and a disease or health-related condition.
HEALTH CLAIMS
42
statements that describe how a product may affect a structure or function of the body; for example, "calcium builds strong bones"
STRUCTURE-FUNCTION CLAIMS
43
claims that do not require FDA authorization
STRUCTURE-FUNCTION CLAIMS
