Dietary Guidelines Flashcards
The DRIs were developed by which organization?
Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences
The DRIs include ___, ___, ___, and ___:
Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA)
Adequate Intakes (AI)
Tolerable Upper Limit (TUL)
Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)
What are the DRIs?
Dietary Reference Intakes - reference values that provide quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people
What are the EARs?
Estimated Average Requirements - estimated daily intake of a nutrient that will satisfy the requirement for that nutrient of half of the healthy individuals in a life stage and gender group
What are the RDAs?
Recommended Daily Allowances - average daily level of intake of a nutrient sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%-98%) healthy people in a life stage and gender group.
What are AIs?
Adequate intake - established when evidence is insufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level estimated to ensure nutritional adequacy for most of the healthy individuals in a life stage and gender group
What are the TULs?
Tolerable upper limit - maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
What are the DVs?
Daily value - set of dietary standards for nutrients for use on food labels. DVs are based on the DRVs and the RDIs, and estimate the the % of the DRV or RDI per nutrient that will be provided in a specific food (assumes daily intake of 2,000 kcal). DVs have replaced the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDA).
What are the DRVs?
Daily Reference Values - provide standards for some nutrients for use on food labeling - total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, total carbs, dietary fiber, protein, sodium, potassium
List the DRVs for the following nutrients: total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, total carbs, dietary fiber, protein, sodium, potassium
Total fat: 65g (to provide no more than 30% of total kcal)
Saturated fat: 20g (to provide no more than 10% of total kcal)
Cholesterol: 300mg
Total carbs: 300g (to provide approx. 60% of total kcal)
Dietary fiber: 25g
Protein:
— 50g for adults (to provide approx. 10% of total kcal)
— 14g infants < 1 yr
— 16g children 1-4 yrs
— 60g pregnant women
— 65g lactating women
Sodium: 2,400mg
Potassium: 3,500 mg
What are the DRIs?
