Nutrient Recommendations-Standards and guidelines
 Are set of Standards for healthy people’s energy and nutrient intakes.
 Nutrition experts use these recommendations to assess intakes and offer advice on
amounts to consume.
 These recommendations are issued by the Food and Nutrition, Board of the Institute of
Medicine, National Academy of Sciences.
 This board addresses issues of safety, quality, and adequacy of the food supply;
establishes principles and guidelines of adequate dietary intake; and renders
authoritative judgments on the relationships among food intake, nutrition, and health.
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 3
Applications for Reference Intakes
 Are used by governments, industry, academia, health services
 Benefits
 Serve as guide for procuring food supplies for groups of healthy persons
 They form the basis for planning meals for groups
 They are used as reference point for evaluating the dietary intake of population
subgroups.
 Basis for food and nutrition education programs
 Reference point for the nutrition labeling of food and dietary supplements
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 4
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI):
DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess
nutrient intakes of healthy people.
 It is the Standard Set average nutrient requirement values.
 DRI suggest upper limit of intakes, above which toxicity is likely to occur.
 It also sets average nutrient requirements for use in nutrition research
 These values, which vary by age and sex, include:
 Recommended Dietary Allowance
 Adequate Intake (AI)
 Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 5
Dietary Reference Intakes Lists and Purposes(DRI) 6
 To know daily nutritional needs of individual there are set of reference values in a guideline
called DRI.
 The DRI committee has set values for all vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fiber, lipids,
protein, water and energy.
 The advantage of DRI values is that it can be applied to diet goals of individuals.
 Suggest upper limit of toxicity
 To set average nutrient requirements in research
 DRI values have changed over the years
 DRI are estimates of the needs of healthy persons only.
 Medical problems alter nutrient needs

• The RDA is set to meet the needs of
nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy people in
each gender and life stage.
• This is the amount that should be
consumed on a daily basis.
• The RDA is two standard deviations
above the EAR based on variability in
requirements, or if the standard
deviation is not known, the RDA is 1.2
times the EAR.
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR).
 The EAR is the estimated mean daily requirement
for a nutrient as determined to meet the
requirements of 50 percent of healthy people in
each life stage and gender group (different amounts
are provided based on age ranges and life stages,
such as pregnancy and lactation).
 The EAR is based on the reduction of disease and
other health parameters.
 It does not reflect the daily needs of individuals but
is used to set the RDA and for research purposes.

Adequate Intake (AI)
9
 The AI is the recommended average daily nutrient level
assumed to be adequate for all healthy people.
 The AI is based on estimates - observed or
experimentally determined approximations - and used
when the RDA cannot be established because of
insufficient data.
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
3
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for safety.
 The Upper Limit is the maximum daily amount of nutrient that appears safe
for most healthy people.
 The UL represents average daily intake from all sources, including food,
water, and supplements.
 Intake above upper limits is associated with toxicity symptoms.
 Most often seen with overuse of supplements or intake of fortified foods.
 Lack of a published UL does not indicate that high levels of the nutrient are
safe.
 Instead, it means there isn't enough research available at this time to
establish a UL.

The Naïve View Versus the Accurate View
of Optimal Nutrient Intakes
Consuming too much nutrients
endangers health (toxicity) and low
levels (deficiency)
DRI recommends intake values within a
safety range
SlidespreparedbyDr.Lakshmi
12
• It indicates the range of adequate intake of a
macronutrient associated with reduced risk of
chronic diseases.
• The AMDR is a range given as a percentage of
total calorie intake - including carbohydrate,
protein, and fat - and is associated with a reduced
risk of chronic disease and adequate intake of
essential nutrients.
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR).
13
SUMMARY ON DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKE STANDARDS
• The values are based on scientific research ,
based on probability and risk, they are set for
optimal intake (not minimum requirements),
reflect daily intakes (DI)
• RDA & AI, Used by individuals for nutrient
intake goals
• RDA – solid experimental evidence
• AI – scientific evidence and educated
guesswork
• Facilitating nutrition research & policy – EAR
• Requirements for life stages and genders
• Establish safety guidelines – UL
• Identification of potentially toxic levels
• Danger zones
• Preventing chronic diseases
• Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution
Ranges (AMDR) proportions
Goals of DRI committee- Nutrient Recommendations
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER).
 The EER is the average daily energy intake that should maintain
energy balance in a healthy person.
 Set to maintain healthy body weight.
 Factors such as gender, age, height, weight, and activity level are all
considerations when calculating this value.
 Energy intake recommendation is set at a level predicted to maintain
body weight.
 The guidelines recommend physical activity to help balance calorie
intakes to achieve and sustain healthy body weight.
 It also suggest intake of vegetables, nutrient dense foods, whole
grains

15Calculations
Calculate the percentage of calories from an energy nutrient in a days meals by using this general
formula.
(A nutrients calorie amount ÷ 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠) 𝑋 100
1. Calculate the percentage of calories from a protein in a days meals.
A days meal provide 50 grams of protein and 1,754 total calories.
First, Convert the protein grams to protein calories (protein provides 4 calories per gram)
Therefore, 50x 4 /1754 x100 =?
Solve the following in the similar manner
a. For carbohydrate (carbohydrates provide 4cal/gram)
b. For fat (Fats provide 9cal/gram)
Dietary Guidelines Established for
Americans
 Is a Science-based advice to Promote health
and Reduce risk of major chronic disease
 Apply to most people age 2 and older
 Choose nutritious foods based on USDA (The
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Food Guide
 It uses food group plan- a diet planning tool.
Dietary Guideline- FOOD GROUP PLAN
 Food group plan is a diet planning tool that sorts foods into groups
based on nutrient content and then specifies that people should eat
certain minimum numbers of servings of food from each group
 Help people achieve goals
 Specifies portions
 Foods are sorted by nutrient density
 Seven main classes of nutrients that the body needs. These are
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water.
 Limit potentially harmful dietary components
 Fat, sugar, cholesterol, salt, and alcohol

USDA MyPyramid Food Guide
• Always evaluate your diet by comparing the total food
amounts that it provides with those recommended by
USDA
• USDA eating patterns helps diet planners in planning a
healthy diet that accurately provides the needed amount of
food from each food group
• Vegetarians who eat no meat or its products can use
USDA food patterns to make a balanced diet
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
19
Nutrient density
• A measure of nutrients provided
per calorie of food.
• A nutrient dense food provides
vitamins, minerals and other
beneficial substances with few
calories.

25Calories aren't bad for you. Your body needs calories for
energy. But eating too many calories — and not burning
enough of them off through activity — can lead to weight
gain. ... Some people watch their calories if they are trying
to lose weight.
Empty calories — calories from solid fats and/or added
sugars. Solid fats and added sugars add calories to the
food but few or no nutrients. For this reason,
the calories from solid fats and added sugars in a food
are often called empty calories
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
26
Discretionary calorie allowance
are excess calories to enjoy once your
required nutrient needs are met.
They can be used toward higher-fat forms
of foods like milk, cheese and meat, and
high-fat and sugary toppings such as
butter, sauce, sugar and syrup.
Discretionary calories can also count
toward soda, candy and alcohol.
Discretionary calorie allowance
MyPyramid: Steps to a Healthier You
 Internet users can use Online educational tool
 www.MyPyramid.gov
 www.choosemyplate.gov
 These sites guides users through diet planning
 Dietary changes can be made as small steps make substantial impacts
 There is flexibility in the USDA Food Guide, for example:
 Vegetarians can use instead of meat, nuts, seeds, soya beans.
 Option for Mixed dish: substitute fat free yogurt instead of fat free milk

Portion control is important when you're trying to lose weight and
keep it off.
A portion is the amount of food you put on your plate, while a
serving is an exact amount of food.
Important because it allows for you to have a tight handle on how
many calories you are presumably taking in.
This means eating what your body needs instead of mindlessly
overindulging.
The Portion Plate is an interactive tool for teaching consumers
appropriate food portions.
Unlike a text-based paper educational brochure, The Portion
Plate is an actual melamine, dishwasher-safe plate that offers a
tangible demonstration of how much food we should eat.
Portion control
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
30
Restaurant portions are not held to standards and
should not be used as a guide for choosing portion
sizes.
Most consumers over estimate calories and fat in food
served in restaurants.
Experimenting with portion sizes at home is a valuable
exercise in self education.
Carefully planned diet have :
a. sufficient raw oil
b. vegetables sub groups
c. Include healthy snacks as part of the total daily food
intake
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
31
 Food labels carry useful information to help you make good choices
about food.
 The food label will tell you if the food contains an additive that you may
want to avoid.
 The nutrition information panel helps you to compare the nutrient profile
of similar products and choose the one that suits your needs.
 All food labels should have Daily values.
Food labels
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
32• It is a food labelling standard, found in food labels.
• It was established by Food and drug administration (FDA)
• Has 2 values
• DRV or Daily Reference value:
• These values are set for things that do not have an RDA.
• Established for total fat, saturated fatty acids, proteins, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, sodium.
• Values apply to average person eating 2000-2500calorie level a day.
• For example, Low fat food label should contain 3 grams of fat or less per serving
• RDI or Reference Daily value is based on RDA (recommended dietary allowance):
• It is established for 25 essential vitamins and minerals.
• Separate RDI exist for infants, toddlers, aged 4+,pregnant and lactating women
• RDI and DRV are combined under daily value (DV) on food labels.
What are Daily values?
33
Step 1: Start with the Serving Size
• Look here for both the serving size (the amount people typically eat at one time) and the number of servings in the package.
• Compare your portion size
Step 2: Check Out the Total Calories
• Find out how many calories are in a single serving.
Step 3: Let the Percent Daily Values Be a Guide
• Use percent Daily Values (DV) to help evaluate how a particular food fits into your daily meal plan.
Step 4: Check Out the Nutrition Terms
• Low calorie: 40 calories or less per serving.
• Low cholesterol: 20 milligrams or less and 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving.
Step 6: Get Enough Vitamins, Minerals and Fiber
• Eat more fiber, potassium, vitamin D, calcium and iron to maintain good health and help reduce your risk of certain health
problems such as osteoporosis and anemia.
Step 7: Consider the Additional Nutrients
• You know about calories, but it also is important to know about the additional nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates on the
Nutrition Facts label.
Foods with more than one ingredient must have an ingredient list on the label. Ingredients are listed in descending order by
weight. Those in the largest amounts are listed first. This information is particularly helpful to individuals with food sensitivities,
those who wish to avoid pork or shellfish, limit added sugars or people who prefer vegetarian eating.
FOOD LABEL:

  • 3. Nutrient Recommendations-Standards and guidelines  Are set of Standards for healthy people’s energy and nutrient intakes.  Nutrition experts use these recommendations to assess intakes and offer advice on amounts to consume.  These recommendations are issued by the Food and Nutrition, Board of the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences.  This board addresses issues of safety, quality, and adequacy of the food supply; establishes principles and guidelines of adequate dietary intake; and renders authoritative judgments on the relationships among food intake, nutrition, and health. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 3
  • 4. Applications for Reference Intakes  Are used by governments, industry, academia, health services  Benefits  Serve as guide for procuring food supplies for groups of healthy persons  They form the basis for planning meals for groups  They are used as reference point for evaluating the dietary intake of population subgroups.  Basis for food and nutrition education programs  Reference point for the nutrition labeling of food and dietary supplements Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 4
  • 5. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI): DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people.  It is the Standard Set average nutrient requirement values.  DRI suggest upper limit of intakes, above which toxicity is likely to occur.  It also sets average nutrient requirements for use in nutrition research  These values, which vary by age and sex, include:  Recommended Dietary Allowance  Adequate Intake (AI)  Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 5
  • 6. Dietary Reference Intakes Lists and Purposes(DRI) 6  To know daily nutritional needs of individual there are set of reference values in a guideline called DRI.  The DRI committee has set values for all vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fiber, lipids, protein, water and energy.  The advantage of DRI values is that it can be applied to diet goals of individuals.  Suggest upper limit of toxicity  To set average nutrient requirements in research  DRI values have changed over the years  DRI are estimates of the needs of healthy persons only.  Medical problems alter nutrient needs Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
  • 7. SlidespreparedbyDr.Lakshmi 7 • The RDA is set to meet the needs of nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy people in each gender and life stage. • This is the amount that should be consumed on a daily basis. • The RDA is two standard deviations above the EAR based on variability in requirements, or if the standard deviation is not known, the RDA is 1.2 times the EAR. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).
  • 8. Estimated Average Requirement (EAR).  The EAR is the estimated mean daily requirement for a nutrient as determined to meet the requirements of 50 percent of healthy people in each life stage and gender group (different amounts are provided based on age ranges and life stages, such as pregnancy and lactation).  The EAR is based on the reduction of disease and other health parameters.  It does not reflect the daily needs of individuals but is used to set the RDA and for research purposes. SlidespreparedbyDr.Lakshmi 8 2
  • 9. Adequate Intake (AI) 9  The AI is the recommended average daily nutrient level assumed to be adequate for all healthy people.  The AI is based on estimates - observed or experimentally determined approximations - and used when the RDA cannot be established because of insufficient data. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 3
  • 10. Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for safety.  The Upper Limit is the maximum daily amount of nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people.  The UL represents average daily intake from all sources, including food, water, and supplements.  Intake above upper limits is associated with toxicity symptoms.  Most often seen with overuse of supplements or intake of fortified foods.  Lack of a published UL does not indicate that high levels of the nutrient are safe.  Instead, it means there isn't enough research available at this time to establish a UL.

But eating too many calories — and not burning enough of them off through activity — can lead to weight gain. ... Some people watch their calories if they are trying to lose weight. Empty calories — calories from solid fats and/or added sugars. Solid fats and added sugars add calories to the food but few or no nutrients. For this reason, the calories from solid fats and added sugars in a food are often called empty calories

  • 29. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 29 Portion control is important when you're trying to lose weight and keep it off. A portion is the amount of food you put on your plate, while a serving is an exact amount of food. Important because it allows for you to have a tight handle on how many calories you are presumably taking in. This means eating what your body needs instead of mindlessly overindulging. The Portion Plate is an interactive tool for teaching consumers appropriate food portions. Unlike a text-based paper educational brochure, The Portion Plate is an actual melamine, dishwasher-safe plate that offers a tangible demonstration of how much food we should eat. Portion control
  • 30. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 30 Restaurant portions are not held to standards and should not be used as a guide for choosing portion sizes. Most consumers over estimate calories and fat in food served in restaurants. Experimenting with portion sizes at home is a valuable exercise in self education.

  • 31. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 31  Food labels carry useful information to help you make good choices about food.  The food label will tell you if the food contains an additive that you may want to avoid.  The nutrition information panel helps you to compare the nutrient profile of similar products and choose the one that suits your needs.  All food labels should have Daily values. Food labels
  • 32. Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi 32• It is a food labelling standard, found in food labels. • It was established by Food and drug administration (FDA) • Has 2 values • DRV or Daily Reference value: • These values are set for things that do not have an RDA. • Established for total fat, saturated fatty acids, proteins, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, sodium. • Values apply to average person eating 2000-2500calorie level a day. • For example, Low fat food label should contain 3 grams of fat or less per serving • RDI or Reference Daily value is based on RDA (recommended dietary allowance): • It is established for 25 essential vitamins and minerals. • Separate RDI exist for infants, toddlers, aged 4+,pregnant and lactating women • RDI and DRV are combined under daily value (DV) on food labels. What are Daily values?
  • 33. 33 Step 1: Start with the Serving Size • Look here for both the serving size (the amount people typically eat at one time) and the number of servings in the package. • Compare your portion size Step 2: Check Out the Total Calories • Find out how many calories are in a single serving. Step 3: Let the Percent Daily Values Be a Guide • Use percent Daily Values (DV) to help evaluate how a particular food fits into your daily meal plan. Step 4: Check Out the Nutrition Terms • Low calorie: 40 calories or less per serving. • Low cholesterol: 20 milligrams or less and 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving. Step 6: Get Enough Vitamins, Minerals and Fiber • Eat more fiber, potassium, vitamin D, calcium and iron to maintain good health and help reduce your risk of certain health problems such as osteoporosis and anemia. Step 7: Consider the Additional Nutrients • You know about calories, but it also is important to know about the additional nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates on the Nutrition Facts label. Foods with more than one ingredient must have an ingredient list on the label. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Those in the largest amounts are listed first. This information is particularly helpful to individuals with food sensitivities, those who wish to avoid pork or shellfish, limit added sugars or people who prefer vegetarian eating. FOOD LABEL:

Editor's Notes

  1. The first place to start when you look at the Nutrition Facts label is the serving size and the number of servings in the package. Serving sizes are standardized to make it easier to compare similar foods; they are provided in familiar units, such as cups or pieces, followed by the metric amount, e.g., the number of grams. The size of the serving on the food package influences the number of calories and all the nutrient amounts listed on the top part of the label. Pay attention to the serving size, especially how many servings there are in the food package. Then ask yourself, "How many servings am I consuming"? (e.g., 1/2 serving, 1 serving, or more) In the sample label, one serving of macaroni and cheese equals one cup. If you ate the whole package, you would eat two cups. That doubles the calories and other nutrient numbers, including the %Daily Values as shown in the sample label.
