The Pursuit of an Ideal Diet
![Page 2: Chapter Two](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070408/568143f7550346895db08589/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
I. The ABC’s of Eating for Health
A. Characteristics of a good diet plan (ABCMV)
1. Adequacy: Provides all of the essential nutrients, fiber & energy (calories) in amount sufficient to maintain health.
2. Balance: Provides a number of types of foods in balance with one another, so that foods rich in one nutrient do not crowd out of the diet foods that are rich in another nutrient.

3. Calorie Control: Control of consumption of energy (calories).
4. Moderation: Provides no unwanted food or nutrient in excess.

VARIETY
Different foods are used for the same purpose on different occasions

B. Nutrient Density
A food that supplies large amounts of nutrients relative to the number of calories it contains is nutrient dense.
The higher the level of nutrients and the fewer the calories, the more nutrient dense the food is.

II. The Nutrients
Nutrients are substances obtained from food and used in the body to promote growth, maintenance & repair.
a. Classes
b. Essential vs. Nonessential
c. Energy-yielding Nutrients
d. Vitamins, Minerals & Water
![Page 9: Chapter Two](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070408/568143f7550346895db08589/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A. The Six Classes of Nutrients
1. Carbohydrates2. Fat3. Protein4. Vitamins5. Minerals6. Water

B. Essential vs. Nonessential
Essential nutrients are those that must be obtained from food because the body can’t make them for itself.
Approximately 40 nutrients are known to be essential
![Page 12: Chapter Two](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070408/568143f7550346895db08589/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
C. Energy-Yielding Nutrients
Energy: capacity to do work Calorie: unit used to measure energy Energy-yielding nutrients include:
– Carbohydrates (4 calories per gram)– Fat (9 calories per gram)– Protein (4 calories per gram)
Although not considered a nutrient, alcohol also contributes calories to the body (7 calories per gram)

D. Vitamins, Minerals & Water
Vitamins & Minerals– Do not supply energy, or calories, to the
body– Regulate the release of energy and other
aspects of metabolism
![Page 14: Chapter Two](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070408/568143f7550346895db08589/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Vitamins: organic, or carbon-containing, essential nutrients vital to life & needed in
minute amounts

Minerals: inorganic compounds, some of which are essential nutrients
Water– Provides the medium for all life
processes in the body– Approximately 60% of the body’s weight
is water

III. Nutrient Recommendations
A. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) Estimate the nutritional requirements of
healthy people Include separate recommendations for
different groups of people of a specific age & gender
Encompasses four sets of values:

Provide only general guidelines for calorie intake
Do not address the hazards of nutrient excesses
