Chapter 7 Flashcards
Nutrition assessment
includes dietary data, anthropometric data, biochemical data, and clinical examination
Three methods of dietary intake data
dietary recall-recall what they have eaten in the past 24 hours
diet history-answer questions about usual eating habits
diet records-log, filled out for three days
RMR
resting metabolic rate-larges contributor to total energy (calorie) requirement
increased through lean body tissue gains, young age, growth, abnormal body temp, menstrual cycle, and hypertheyroidism.
decreased through loss of lean tissue and hypothroidism
can vary 20%
second larges component of energy requirement
physical activity
Thermic effect of food
the increase in energy expenditure above the RMR that can be measured for several hours following a meal
energy needed to assimilate foods (7-10% of energy)
Estimating energy requirments
for clients who accurately record intake, best method is to assess the food log
REE
resting energy expenditure
Protein
when caloric intake goes down, protein requirement goes up
if protein comes from plants, requirement is higher
sedentry adults-0.8 g/kg of body weight or 0.83
athletes-1.2 to 2.0 g/kg per day
Carbohydrates
50 to 100 g of carbs prevents ketosis (high levels of keotones in the blood stream) results in incomplete breakdown of fatty acids
Fat
3% of energy from omega-6 fatty acids and 0.5% to 1% from omega-4
recommended: 30% or less of calories consumed come from fat. 20% from monounsaturated and 10% from saturated
minimal from transfats
DRIS
Dietary Reference Intakes
focus on long-term health
Adequate intake
a goal intake when suficient scientific information is unavailable to estimate the RDA
Estimated Average Requirement
intake that meets the estimated nutrient need of half the individuals in a specific group
Tolerable upper intake level
maximum intake that is unlikely to pose risks of adverse health effects in almost all healthy individuals in a group
Fluid intake
impossible to set generic recommendation
before exercise: 5-7 ml of fluid per kilogram of body weight 4 hours before, 3-5ml two hours before
during: most only replace about 2/3 of water they loose
water is best
after: 20-24 oz of water for every pound lost during exercise
