Q

How do technology based dietary assessment compare with traditional dietary assessment methods?

A

Don’t reply on memory, automatically process data but depend on nutrient database and can incur errors on input

Q

What are athlete specific issues for snacking?

A

high consumption of snacks, between meals snacks are often under-reported

20
Q

What are athlete specific issues for supplement use?

A

high in athletes (multivitamins, ergogenic aids, recovery aids etc), consumed outside meals so likely to be misreported

21
Q

What formats are used to covert food intake to nutrient intake?

A

Food composition tables and nutrient databases

22
Q

What are sources of nutrient data?

A

Government research laboratories, food industry, overseas values and published research

23
Q

Are intake and absorption equal?

A

No

24
Q

How do we interpret nutrient and food intake data?

A

NRVS

25
Q

What are nutrient reference values (NRVs)?

A

Values based on nutritional requirements of a population (assume normal distribution)

26
Q

What do NRVs take into account?

A
  1. Gender
  2. Age
  3. Pregnancy/lactation
  4. Growth
27
Q

What don’t NRVs take into account?

A
  1. Illness, trauma or metabolic stress (exercise)
  2. Nutritional deficiency states
  3. Genetic abnormalities
28
Q

What do NRVs reflect?

A

the nutritional requirement of healthy groups of people

29
Q

What other factors influence NRV?

A

Bioavailability and if other nutrient requirements are met

30
Q

What is bioavailability?

A

The % of ingested nutrient that is available

31
Q

How are macronutrients affected by bioavailability?

A

Minimally

32
Q

How are micronutrients affected by bioavailability?

A

greatly

33
Q

How are micronutrients affected by bioavailability?

A

Source, form, presence of inhibitors and presence of enhancers

34
Q

What is estimated average requirement (EAR)?

A

a daily nutrient level estimated to meet the requirements of half the healthy individuals of a particular life stage and gender group

35
Q

What is recommended dietary intake (RDI)?

A

the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group

36
Q

What is adequate intake (AI)?

A

the daily nutrient level based on observed or experimentally determined approximation of nutrient intake by a group of apparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate

37
Q

When is AI used?

A

when an RDI cannot be determined

38
Q

What is upper limit of intake (UL)?

A

the highest daily nutrient intake likely to pose no adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population. as intake increases above UL, the potential risk of adverse effects increases

39
Q

What we CANNOT say

A

For an individual, just because their intake is below the RDI/EAR that their intake is inadequate or that they are deficient

40
Q

What we CAN say

A

The closer the intake is to the RDI the less likely that their intake is inadequate

41
Q

How do athletes meals change between training loads?

A

Protein generally remains consistent, higher training = higher carbohydrate intake

42
Q

How do we address food waste?

A

only buy what you need, process and freeze, compost, learn to cook and bake, buy less packaged foods, bring water bottle/mugs

43
Q

What is hedonic hunger?

A

the drive to eat to obtain pleasure in the absence of an energy deficit

44
Q

Why does taste matter?

A

Flavour fatigue, boredom, addiction

45
Q

How does social media influence nutrition?

A

“Diet experts”, influencers, product sales/pyramid schemes

46
Q

What influences access to appropriate food for sport?

A

Lifestyle, location, money, skills, facilities, flatmates

47
Q

How to tackle time constraints?

A

Time management skills, cook in bulk, have quick meals and recipes on hand
