Question 1

The number of servings to consume from each MyPlate food group depends on a person's

Accepted Answer

The number of servings to consume from each MyPlate food group depends on a person's age, gender, height, and weight. This is because different people have different calorie and nutrient needs, and their intake should be adjusted accordingly to support optimal health. Factors such as height, weight, and frame size may also play a role in determining a person's calorie and nutrient needs, but age and gender are important considerations as well. Taste preferences may influence food choices, but they should not be the sole determining factor in determining one's nutritional intake.

Question 2

Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans,released in 2008,advise a minimum of minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity for adults.

Accepted Answer

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans released in 2008 advise a minimum of 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity for adults.

Question 3

According to the Dietary Guidelines,adults should _____ intake of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.

Accepted Answer

The Dietary Guidelines recommend increasing intake of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products to ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake. These nutrients are important for bone health and overall health.

                        Premises: Nutrient intake level that appears to maintain nutritional health; set when insufficient research evidence is available to determine precise nutrient needs
Maximum daily chronic intake level that is unlikely to cause adverse health effects
Estimate of energy needs based on weight, height, age, gender, and physical activity level
Used as a reference for expressing nutrient content on nutrition labels
Recommended nutrient intake that meets the needs of almost all healthy people of similar age and gender

Accepted Answer

The Answer of RDA and EER and AI and DV is...

Question 5

The results of an observational study show that women who regularly take multivitamins tend to have healthier body weight.
Taking multivitamins causes weight loss.

Accepted Answer

The observational study simply found a correlation between taking multivitamins and healthier body weight in women. It does not prove causation, so it cannot be assumed that taking multivitamins causes weight loss. Other factors could be responsible for the observed correlation.

Question 6

When there is insufficient research to determine the RDA for a nutrient,the ______,based on estimates of intakes that appear to maintain a defined nutritional state in a specific life stage,is the nutrient standard.

Accepted Answer

When there is not enough research available to determine the RDA for a nutrient, the Adequate Intake (AI) is used instead. The AI is based on estimates of intakes that appear to maintain a defined nutritional state in a specific life stage.

Question 7

A comparison of the kilocalorie content of a food to the weight of that food is

Accepted Answer

The comparison of kilocalorie content to the weight of a food is known as energy density. Energy density is an important concept in nutrition and is used to describe the number of calories in a given weight or volume of food. Foods with high energy density have more calories per gram or volume, while low-energy dense foods have fewer calories per gram or volume. Understanding energy density can help with weight management and making healthier food choices.

Question 8

                        Premises: Choosing more nutrient-dense foods and fewer nutrient-poor foods
A food's nutrient content in relation to its energy contribution
Choosing foods from all the food groups and subgroups
Planning food choices so that nutrient sources are not overconsumed
A food's kilocalorie content compared to the weight of the food

Accepted Answer

The Answer of Nutrient density and Proportionality and Variety and is...

Question 9

According to MyPlate,eggs belong in the ______ group.

Accepted Answer

Eggs belong in the protein food group as they are a good source of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. While eggs do contain some fat, they are not considered a significant source of dairy as they do not contain lactose or have the same nutrient profile as traditional dairy products like milk or cheese.

Question 10

The Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting intake of ______ to less than 10% of calories.

Accepted Answer

The Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting saturated fatty acids to less than 10% of total daily calories to reduce the risk of heart disease.

                        Premises: Failing health that results from long-standing dietary practices that do not coincide with nutritional needs
Failing health that results from long-standing dietary practices that are inadequate to meet nutritional needs
A state in which nutritional intake greatly exceeds the body's needs
Nutritional health as determined by ABCDE assessments

Accepted Answer

The Answer of Malnutrition and Overnutrition and Nutritional state and is...

Question 12

The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid represents the dietary patterns of people from parts of the Mediterranean region that enjoy

Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is based on the dietary patterns of people from parts of the Mediterranean region that have the lowest recorded rates of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. This diet emphasizes plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, and includes moderate amounts of seafood, poultry, and dairy, with limited red meat and sugar. It also encourages the use of healthy fats, such as olive oil and nuts, instead of saturated fats. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reduced risk for chronic disease and increased lifespan.

Question 13

The food grouping guidelines most recently released from the United States government are called

Accepted Answer

MyPlate is the most recent food grouping guidelines released by the United States government. It was introduced in 2011 to replace MyPyramid and provides a visual representation of the five food groups that individuals should aim to consume daily in appropriate serving sizes: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Its simple design makes it easy for individuals to understand and apply to their daily lives.

Question 14

RDAs are not used in food labeling because

Accepted Answer

RDAs (Recommended Dietary Allowances) are age- and gender-specific, making them impractical for the general labeling of food products, which are intended for a broad audience.

Question 15

Which government agency is responsible for most U.S.food labeling?

Accepted Answer

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for most U.S. food labeling, as it is tasked with regulating and ensuring the safety and accuracy of labeled information on most foods, including dietary supplements, infant formula, and certain food additives. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) also plays a role in food labeling, but mainly for meat, poultry, and egg products, as well as natural and organic claims on all food products. Additionally, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is mainly focused on regulating environmental risks related to food production and handling, but not directly involved in food labeling. The IOM (Institute of Medicine) is a non-governmental organization that provides health-related recommendations and research, but does not have regulatory authority over food labeling.

Question 16

Two tablespoons (tbsp)of salad dressing,peanut butter,or margarine is about the size of a

Accepted Answer

Two tablespoons is approximately the size of a golf ball. This is a standard measurement used for portion control in food, particularly when it comes to high-calorie items like salad dressings, peanut butter, and margarine. A golf ball is a good visual reference for this serving size.
