nonperishable food in bulk
*When nutrition advocates became very concerned that recommendations did
not do enough to address prevention of chronic diet related diseases, what
policy changes were made? ✔️Ans -RDA's expanded into several
DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) categories
- Which Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) value provides information to assist in
developing recommendations for populations? ✔️Ans -Estimated
average requirement (EAR)
*What is true of Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs). ✔️Ans -Food
labeling must include information about them
The DRIs are a set of at least four nutrient-based reference values that can be
used for planning and assessing diets and for many other purposes.
,They are meant to replace the former Recommended Dietary Allowances
(RDAs) in the United States
Define Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) in % for
adults? ✔️Ans -(Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges
AMDR)
1. Carbohydrate: 45-65% of total calories
2. Fats: 20-35% of total calories
3. Protein: 10-35% of total calories
What is DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes)? ✔️Ans -DRI (Dietary
Reference Intakes) is a set of nutrient-based reference values that are
quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and
assessing diets for healthy people.
DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes) expand on the periodic reports called
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), which were first published by the
Institute of Medicine in 1941.
1. Carbohydrate: 45-65% of total calories
2. Fats: 20-35% of total calories
3. Protein: 10-35% of total calories
*Define - UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level Safety) ✔️Ans -UL
(Tolerable Upper Intake Level Safety) is the highest level of daily consumption
that current data has shown to cause side effects in humans; ensures people
do not take harmful amounts
What does EAR (Estimated Average Requirements) do? ✔️Ans -
EAR (Estimated Average Requirements) averages daily nutrient intake level
estimated to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals in a
particular life stage and sex group.
Define RDA (recommended dietary allowances)? ✔️Ans -RDA
(recommended dietary allowances) - Lists average daily nutrient intake levels
of vitamins & minerals
,The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) for nutrients are generally
✔️Ans -RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) is the average daily dietary
intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all (97
to 98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and sex group.
Where would you find the %DV and how is it used? ✔️Ans -%DV is
on Labels of packaged foods
Daily Value: The amount of fat, sodium, fiber, and other nutrients that health
experts say should make up a healthful diet.
Use the Daily Values (DV) to get a good idea of how various
foods fit into a healthful diet.
Use the Daily Values (DV) to comparison shop
What changes were made when Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) were
established in the late 1990s? ✔️Ans -Dietary Reference Intakes
(DRI) between 1994-2000 extended and replaced the former RDAs and the
Canadian Recommended Nutrient Intakes
*What is always found on a nutrition label in the US? ✔️Ans -
serving size
*This is used to define what a healthful diet contains nutrient intake near
what amount? Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) ✔️Ans -
Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)

Ranges (AMDR) (carbohydrates, fat and protein) in percentages (%) when
evaluating the appropriateness of a snack food? ✔️Ans -AMDR
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)
1. Carbohydrate: 45-65% of total calories
2. Fats: 20-35% of total calories
3. Protein: 10-35% of total calories
, Define RDA (recommended dietary allowances) ✔️Ans -RDA
(recommended dietary allowances)- the amount of nutrients that will prevent
deficiencies
What does DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) stand for? ✔️Ans -
Dietary Reference Intake
Define - Acceptable Macronutrient Daily Range (AMDR/macronutrients)
✔️Ans -Acceptable Macronutrient Daily Range - Carbs, fats, proteins, minerals,

of daily calories

daily calories

us? ✔️Ans -Guides recommendations and menu planning for
communities, in combination with upper intake levels
The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is the intake level for a nutrient
*What is the nutritional benefit of fruits and vegetables? ✔️Ans -
