Cards

Term
variety
Definition
different foods from different food groups daily to meet needs over time
Term
balance
Definition
all food groups included in your diet; match energy intake with energy expenditure
Term
moderation
Definition
portion control
Term
1. grains
2. fruits
3. protein
4. vegetables

Definition
what are the 5 food groups?
Term
variety: choose foods from all food groups; no one food meets all nutrient needs
Balance: eating more nutrient-dense foods and beverages and less foods high in certain types of fat, sugars, cholesterol, salt, and alcohol--matching your energy intake with energy expenditure
moderation:portion size so you do not overconsume any nutrients
Definition
what is the difference between variety, balance, and moderation?
Term
nutrient density
Definition
ratio derived by dividing a food's nutrient content by its calorie content; food is considered this when the nutrient of that food exceeds its contribution to our calorie need
Term
satiety
Definition
a state in which there is no longer a desire to eat; a feeling of satisfaction (regulated by hypothalamus)
Term
energy density
Definition
a comparison of the kcal content of a food with the weight of the food-- high in calories but weighs very little (ex. potato chip)
Term
.6 kcal/g
Definition
how many kcal in a gram would be considered very low energy density?
Term
.6 kcal/g - 1.5 kcal/g
Definition
what is the range of kcal per gram that classifies a food as low energy density?
Term
1.5kcal/g - 4 kcal/g
Definition
what is the range of kcal/g that classifies a food as medium energy density?
Term
more than 4 kcal/g
Definition
what is the range of kcal/g of a food that classifies it as high energy density?
Term
1. balance calories with physical activity to manage weight

what are the 5 major food groups represented on MyPlate?

2. grains occupy slightly more than one-fourth of the plate
3. protein occupies the remaining space on the plate
4. a cup of dairy appears next to the plate
Definition
how does the MyPlate icon compare the relative sizes of the five food groups on a plate?
Term
deck of cards or palm of your hand (1/2 to 3/4 cup)

Term
it does not:
1. provide info about overall calories, serving sizes, or number of servings
2. address types of foods to choose within each food group
3. address total diet which may include snacks
Definition
what are the limitations of MyPlate?
Term
simplicity--it builds healthy plates at meals and conveys a major message that are needed when shopping, cooking, and eating
Definition
what is the strength of MyPlate?
Term
undernutrition
Definition
failing health that results from a long-standing dietary intake that is not enough to meet nutritional needs
Term
overnutrition
Definition
a state in which nutritional intake greatly exceeds the body's needs
Term
malnutrition
Definition
failing health from long-standing dietary practices that do not coincide with nutritional needs
Term
yes
Definition
is undernutrition and overnutrition both components of malnutrition?
Term
desirable nutrition
Definition
adequate stores of nutrients, such as iron, and adequate blood values, such as for iron-related compounds
Term
undernutrition
Definition
decline in body functions associated with a decline in nutrient status. with iron deficiency, iron-containing proteins and in turn oxygen supply to body tissues is reducced. this then leads to clinical symptoms, such as fatigue upon exertion
Term
overnutrition
Definition
toxic damage to the body. in iron toxicity, liver cells in particular are affected
Term
Anthropometric
Biochemical Assessment
Clinical Assessment
Dietary Assessment
Environmental Assessment
Definition
what are the ABCDE steps used in assessing nutritional status?
Term
anthropometric
Example: low weight for height, recent 10-lb weight loss, muscle wasting in upper body
Definition
body weight, lengths, circumferences, and thickness of parts of the body
Term
biochemical assessment
example: low amounts of vitamins thiamin and folate in the blood
Definition
assessment of blood and urine
Term
clinical assessment
example: psychological confusion, facial sores, and uncoordinated movement
Definition
assessment of general appearance of skin, eyes, and tongue; evidence of rapid hair loss; sense of touch; ability to cough, walk
Term
Dietary assessment
example: dietary intake of little more than wine and hamburgers for the last week
Definition
assessment of estimation of typical food choices relying on the recounting of one's usual intake or record of previous days' intake
Term
environmental assessment
example: currently residing in a homeless shelter; $35.00 in wallet; unemployed
