macronutrients
carbs, proteins, lipids
micronutrients
minerals, vitamins
nutrients that foods must supply
essential nutrients
carbohydrate distribution range
45%-65% kcalories
what is an experiment in which neither the subjects nor the researchers know which subjects are members of the experimental group and which are serving as control subjects , until after the experiment is over?
double blind experiment
fats distribution range
20%-35% kcalories
protein distribution range
10%-35% kcalories
those distribution ranges are called
Acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges
carbohydrate kcalorie per gram(energy)
4kcal/g
protein kcalorie per gram(energy)
4kcal/g
fat kcalorie per gram(energy)

alcohol, though not a nutrient, yields energy how many kcalories per gram
7kcal/g
a set of nutrient intake values for healthy people in the US and Canada these values include: EAR, RDA, AI, UL
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI)
the average daily amount of a nutrient that will maintain a specific biochemical or physiological function in half the healthy people of a given age and gender group
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
the average daily amount of a nutrient considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy people; a goal for dietary intake by individuals
Recommended dietary allowance (RDA)
the average daily amount of a nutrient that appears sufficient to maintain a specified criterion; a value used as a guide for nutrient intake when an RDA cannot be determined
Adequate Intake (AI)
the maximum daily amount of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people and beyond which there is an increased risk of adverse health effects.
Tolerable Upper Intake level (UL)
the average dietary energy intake that maintains energy balance and good health in a person of a given age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity
Estimated energy requirement (EER)
what are the leading causes of death that are related to nutrition?
Heart disease, strokes, cancer, and diabetes mellitus
the more nutrients for the least food energy(fewer kcalories)
nutrient dense
a measure of the energy (kcalories) a food provides relative to the weight of the food
energy dense
