en CR Chapter 2: Nutrition 33 Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range: The recommended range of intake for a given energy-yielding nutrient, expresses as a percentage of total daily caloric intake. Adequate Intake: The daily intake of a nutrient that appears to support adequate nutritional status established when RDA’s cannot be determined. anthropometric measurement: A measurement of a body’s physical dimensions and composition. biochemical measurement: Laboratory analysis of a biological sample, such as blood or urine. body composition: The proportions of fat, water, lean tissue, and mineral (bone) mass that make up the body. Daily Value: A benchmark as to whether a food is a good source of a particular nutrient. May represent a nutrient’s recommended daily intake or upper limit. diet recall: A retrospective dietary assessment method by which a person records and analyzes every food and drink consumed over a given time span. diet record: A prospective dietary assessment method by which a person records and analyzes every food and drink as it is consumed over a given time span. dietary assessment: The evaluation of adequacy of a person’s dietary intake. Dietary Guidelines for Americans: A series of recommendations that provide specific nutritional guidance and advice about physical activity, alcohol intakes, and food safety. Dietary Reference Intakes: A set of four dietary reference standards used to assess and plan dietary intake: Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance, Adequate Intake level, and Tolerable Upper Intake level. Estimate Energy Requirement: The average energy intake needed for a healthy person to maintain weight. Estimated Average Requirement: The daily intake of a nutrient that meets the physiological requirements of half the healthy individuals in a given life-stage and sex. food frequency questionnaire: A retrospective dietary assessment method by which food selection patterns are assessed over an extended period of time. Food Tracker: A component of the MyPlate website that allows individuals to conduct dietary self-assessments. health claim: An FDA-approved statement that describes a specific health benefit of a food or food component. malnutrition: A state of poor nutritional status caused by an imbalance between the body’s nutrient requirements and nutrient availability. MyPlate: A visual food guide developed by the USDA to illustrate the most important food intake pattern recommendations of the 2010 Dietary guidelines for Americans. nutrient content claim: An FDA-regulated word or phrase that describes how much of a nutrient (or its content) is in a food. nutrient density: The relative ratio of a food’s amount of nutrients to its total calories. nutrient requirement: The amount of a nutrient that a person must consume to promote optimal health. nutritional adequacy: A condition by which a person regularly consumes the required amount of a nutrient to meet physiological needs. nutritional deficiency: A condition caused by inadequate intake of one or more essential nutrients. Nutritional Facts panel: A required component of most food labels that provides information about the nutrient content of the food. nutritional status: The extent to which a person’s diet meets his or her individual nutrient requirements. nutritional toxicity: Overconsumption of a nutrient that results in dangerous toxic effects. primary malnutrition: A condition by which poor nutritional status is caused strictly by inadequate diet. qualified health claim: A health claim that has less scientific backing and must be accompanied by a disclaimer (or qualifier) statement. Recommended Dietary Allowance: The daily intake of a nutrient that meets the physiological requirements of nearly all ( roughly 97 percent) healthy individuals in a given life-stage and sex. regular health claim: A health claim that is supported by considerable scientific research. secondary malnutrition: A condition by which poor nutritional status is caused by factors other than diet, such as illness. sign: A physical indicator of disease that can be seen by others, such as pale skin and skin rashes. symptom: A subjective manifestation of disease that generally cannot be observed by other people. Tolerable Upper Intake Level: The highest level of usual daily nutrient intake likely to be safe. undernutrition: The inadequate intake of one of more nutrients and or energy. USDA Food Patterns: A USDA publication that categorizes nutritionally similar foods into food groups and makes recommendations regarding the number of servings of each food group that should be consumed daily.
