Planning a Healthy Diet

Adequate Diet is a diet that provides enough
energy to maintain a healthy diet and provides
nutrients needed for optimal health
 General
philosophy for an adequate
diet….Eat a variety of foods in moderation.

Balance
Variety
Nutrient density
Energy density – Kcal control
Moderation
Diet-Planning Principles
 Balance

Diet that provides enough, but not too
much of each type of food
• Don’t want overeating of one food type to
“crowd” out intake of other nutrients….
Diet-Planning Principles
 Variety
- Diet that includes a wide
selection of foods within each food group
• Eat a variety of fruits, not just oranges
• Why?
 Variety
within the fruit and vegetable
groups has the added bonus of increasing
the variety of phytochemicals in your diet.
Phytochemicals
– substances in plants
that may contribute to health
 Phytochemicals

Examples – see page 14
Foods – foods that provide
health benefits beyond those of the known
nutrients
 Functional
Diet-Planning Principles
 Nutrient

Density
Select foods that provide the most
nutrients for the least number of calories
(nutrient dense foods)
• Skim milk versus soda (page 39)
• Foods with few nutrients and many calories
are sources of empty calories.
Diet-Planning Principles
 Energy Density - Kcal Control
 Foods with low-energy density have low kcal
per gram, page 40
• Can eat “a lot” without many calories

Select foods with low energy density for an
intake that meets nutritional needs without
excess kcal intake
Energy Density
10
Energy Density
 Measure
of the kcal per gram of food
 _______ has the highest energy density of
the 3 energy-yielding nutrients.
 Foods

with a high energy density
provide more kcal per gram than low density
foods.
11
Diet-Planning Principles
 Moderation


Eat moderate (small) portion sizes
Moderate your intake of foods high in:
• Added sugars
• Salt
• Saturated and trans fats
• Cholesterol
• Alcohol

Levels of Nutritional Status
1. Desirable/Ideal nutrition

Intake is sufficient to meet daily needs and to
keep nutritional stores full while maintaining a
healthy body weight
Levels of Nutritional Status
2. Borderline nutrition – a subset of
undernutrition in text


Intake is not sufficient to meet daily needs
Drawing upon your stores
• Body is not prepared to handle times of stress

Illness, pregnancy…
• May slows growth and development of fetus and
growing child
Levels of Nutritional Status
3. Undernutrition


Intake does not meet daily caloric and nutrient
needs and nutrient reserves are empty for
some/all nutrients
There is a decline in body functions due to the
lack of nutrients
• Can be life threatening
• Medical intervention required
Nutritional Deficiencies
 Covert


vs. overt deficiency
Covert or sub-clinical – deficiency may be
detected by lab tests, but not outward signs of
the deficiency
Overt or clinical symptoms– outward signs of
the deficiency
Nutritional Deficiencies
 Primary


vs. secondary deficiency
Primary – inadequate intake of the nutrient
Secondary – body doesn’t absorb adequate
amounts, excretes too much….
• Body “mishandles” the nutrient

Diet history helps distinguish between these
Under-nourished
 Populations






at increased risk:
anyone living in poverty
• especially infants, children, pregnant women,
elderly
elderly in general, including those living in nursing
homes
pregnant teens
drug and alcohol addicts
individuals with eating disorders
anyone with prolonged illness, including hospital
patients
Overnutrition
4. Over-nutrition – 2 aspects

excessive caloric intake that leads to obesity
• Increase risk of obesity related diseases



heart disease, diabetes….
overuse of vitamin supplements that leads to
toxicity
Page 42 – overview levels nut. status
Malnourished
 Comment
on a commonly used term….
 The term malnourished is most commonly
used in reference to chronic undernutrition
 It can also be used in reference to anyone
with chronic poor nutrition that results in
failing health
Evaluating Nutritional Status
Background - Personal History
1.
•
•
•
•
•
2.
SES
Social history - living situation, marital status
Personal and family health history
Medications, supplements taken
Educational level…..
Anthropometric data (A)
– Height and weight
– Waist circumference
– % body fat
Evaluating Nutritional Status
3. Biochemical Assessment (B)
Laboratory tests, eg
– Cholesterol level
– Iron, potassium, vitamin D levels
– Liver enzyme function
4. Clinical Assessment (C)
Physical exam
– Hair, skin, eyes, tongue…
– Blood pressure
Evaluating Nutritional Status
5. Diet History (D)
-
Typical foods eaten
Food journal
6. Environmental Assessment (E) – part of
background/personal history
The ABC’s of evaluating
nutritional status
 Anthropometric
data
 Biochemical tests
 Clinical assessment
 Dietary intake
 Environmental status

Living conditions….from background
information
see page 44
Science Of Nutrition
 Nutritional
recommendations are based on
scientific research.
 Recommendations attempt to define
adequate intake.

Dietary Recommendations
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) – pg 48
EAR - Estimated Average Requirement*
2.
RDA – Recommended Dietary Allowances
3.
AI – Adequate Intake
4.
UL – Tolerable Upper Intake Levels
5.
EER – Estimated Energy Requirement
6.
DV – Daily Value
All based on nutritional research.
* Not in this edition of text.
1.
EAR and RDA
Estimated Average Requirements
1.

Intake amount that appears to meet the
needs of 50% of the population
•
•
Age, gender, “condition” based
Set after review of many research studies
Recommended Dietary Allowances
2.

RDA is set to meet the needs of 98% of the
population (without reaching toxic levels)
DRI
AI
Adequate Intake (AI)
3.
•
•
AI = average amount of the nutrient that a
group of healthy people consume
AI is set when there isn’t enough research to
set an estimated average requirement
(EAR) or RDA
•
Examples: Vitamin D, water, fiber
UL
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
4.
•
•
Maximum daily amount of nutrient that
appears safe for most healthy people
Intake above the UL is associated with
toxicity symptoms
•
Most often see with overuse of supplements or
intake of many fortified foods
DRI
Other Recommendations
 Estimated

Energy Requirements (EER)
Caloric intake that will maintain energy
balance in a healthy person
• Values given are for “reference” male and female
who is fairly active

 Daily


Values are not very useful for individuals!
Value (DV)
Used on food labels
Set at high end of RDA
Energy – Why not set
an RDA?
Other Recommendations
 Acceptable
Macronutrient Distribution
Range

or, recommended intake of energy yielding
nutrients
• 45-65% of caloric intake from carbohydrate
• 20-35% of caloric intake from fat
• 10-35% of caloric intake from protein
Diet Planning Guides

Food Group Plans
•
•

Foods within each food group provide similar
nutrients and are from similar food sources
Plan recommends the amount of food to be eaten in
each food group.
Food Group Plans include:

Food Labels
 “Health”
claims allowed on food labels are
regulated by the FDA




Law changed in 2003 to allow more health claims
Much more confusing now
Now health claims with limited evidence can now be
put on labels with a “disclaimer”/explanation.
Pages 68/69
Food Labels
Food Labels
 “Structure-function”
claims do not require
FDA approval

Cannot mention a disease or symptom
 Limited
regulation of claims on dietary
supplements (since 1994)
Food Labels
 “May


reduce the risk of heart disease.”
A “health” claim
Regulated and needs FDA approval.
 “Promotes


a healthy heart.”
A “structure-function” claim
No FDA approval or proof needed to make
Other Recommendations
 Other
countries and international
organizations set their own nutritional
recommendations
e.g. World Health Organization (WHO)
