Presentation Transcript

  1. Nutrient Intake

  2. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDAs) • Food Guide Pyramid • Published in 1943 • National Academy of Science • The first official set of dietary standards • Replaced by DRIs

  3. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) • Choose My Plate • Published in 1994 - 51 years after the RDAs • National Academy of Sciences • Include 4 sets of standards • Depends on sex and life stages – other factors • Estimation of nutrient requirement and intake goals in a healthy population

  4. Energy Intake

  5. Estimated Energy Requirements (EERs) • Average energy intakes needed to maintain weight (or growth) for an individual in a population • Similar to DRI (why?) but more specific (why?) 354 – (6.91)(age) + PA[(9.36)(wt) + (726)(ht)] for females 662 – (9.53)(age) + PA[(15.9)(wt) + (540)(ht)] for males • Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) • Distribution of energy sources • 45-65% of total energy from carbohydrates • 10-35% from proteins • 20-35% from lipids

  6. Question • I just used the formula in this book and calculated my EER to be 2,900 kcal/day. If I ate that much, I am positive that I would gain weight. Does this mean that there is something wrong with my metabolism?

  7. Answer • No. Keep in mind that the EER represent the Estimated Energy Requirements for individuals of similar sex, weight, height, and activity patterns. Your individual energy requirement may be somewhat more or less depending on other factors such as body composition and genetic factors.
