Who exercises DOD responsibility for Nutritional Standards and Education?
|
The Surgeon General, United States Army (USA)
|
|
Job of US Army Surgeon General:
|
-establish nutritional standards for normal and simulated/actual combat
-establish nutritional standards based on Food and Nutrition Board's(FNB) recommendation -evalutate/approve current/proposed operational rations -collaborate w/all services to develope nutritional education -research military nutrition -conduct periodic assessment surveys of military personnel |
|
Role of US Navy, Army and Air force Surgeon Generals:
|
-review requests/recommendations
-develope/implement programs using US Dietary recommendations for fit force -provide nutritional information/educatin to health care providers -establish mechanisms/policies in hospital and ensure healthy foods incorprated in menu -monitor food contracts |
|
MDRI
|
Military Dietary Reference Intakes
|
|
T or F
MDRIs are always identical to recommended nutrient intakes by the FNB |
(F) Known military nutrient requirements may cause for some needed differences in the FNB's recommendations.
|
|
Who uses the MDRIs?
|
Personnel involved in menu developement/evaluation, nutritional eduation/research, and food research/developement
|
|
T or F
MDRIs do not reflect the nutritional needs fo pregnant or lactating militaty women |
(T)
These individuals need to be seen by an qualified medical professionals. |
|
Special conditions not covered in MDRIs require consultation with _________.
|
TSG - The Surgeon General of appropriate service
|
|
NSOR
|
Nutritional standards for operationsl and restricted rations
|
|
Operational rations include:
|
(1) individual rations(Meal, Ready-to-eat(MRE))
(2) group feeding rations(T-ration, Unitized B ration, and Unitized Group ration(UGR-A and UGR-H&S(Heat & Serve)) |
|
Fat calories from operational rations should not exceed _______ of the total calories from fat consumed.
|
35%
|
|
MRE can be consumed as the sole ration for ___ days, after this time other appropriate rations are included.
|
21
|
|
T or F
Restricted rations are nutritional incomplete,used for short periods of up to 21 days. |
(F)
Restricted rations can be used for up to 10 days when carrying minimal weight is needed. |
|
Example given of a special operational ration needed due to increased nutritional needs caused by exposure to an extreme enviroment:
|
Meal, Cold Weather
|
|
Example given of restricted ration
|
Food Packet, Long-Range Patrol ration
|
|
3 types of Survival rations (approximate calories(kcal))
|
(1)Food Packet, Survival, General Purpose, Improved(GP-1) ration(1447 kcal)
(2)Food Packet, Survival, Abandon Ship ration(300 kcal) (3) Food Packet, Survival, Aircraft/Life Raft ration(300 kcal) |
|
Purpose of Survival rations Food Packet, Survival, Abandon Ship and Aircraft/Life Raft
|
Strickly short term survival rations
|
|
NATICK PAM 30-35
|
Operational Rations of the DOD has basic nutrient information on all rations
|
|
Reference measures for weight and height of military members are:
|
men: 174pds(79kg) and 69in(175cm)
women: 136pds(62kg) and 64in(163cm) |
|
T or F
Smaller individuals require more calories than the MDRIs for energy |
F
Smaller individual require less and Larger individuals will require slightly more. |
|
The reference measures of body height and weight used to calculate the average energy needs of individuals' MDRIs, represent what percent of the military men and women.
|
50%
|
|
T or F
Vigorous physical training may cause energy requirements to increase 125% of the MDRI for energy |
(T)
|
|
Three factors that effect calculation of MDRIs for energy:
|
(1) Body size
(2) Physical Activity (3) Environmental factors |
|
Explain how extreme cold environments affect energy requirements.
|
Does not affect those troops with limited exposure to the outdoor temperature, but for those that work in severe cold w/heavy gear, i.e. manuevers wearing snowshoes on snow/ice covered terrains, it increases energy requirements.
|
|
T or F
A temperature reading of 72 degrees causes energy requirements to increase 2.5-10%. |
(F)
No adjustment is usually needed for temperatures between 68 and 86 degrees, but 86 to 104 degree F range may cause the 2.5-10% increase. |
|
T or F
In high heat climates the need for people to rest more, causes an increase in 24 hour energy usage. |
(F) Due to the rest time the energy needed over a 24hr period may NOT increase.
|
|
T or F
Climatized individuals most likely won't have an increase in energy requirements. |
T
|
|
The energy needed is usually increased at heights above _______.
|
10,000 feet
|
|
Five things that determine energy requirements in high altitudes are:
|
(1) body size
(2) weight carried load (3) incline level (4) walking surface (5) ambient temperature |
|
Increased energy needs and _________ make keeping sufficient energy levels difficult without a conscious effort to eat a disciplined food and water intake program.
|
loss of appetite
|
|
Approximately ___ to ___ percent of total calories consumed should come from foods and beverages with carbohydrate sources.
|
50 to 55%
|
|
Protein range intake for military men & women.
|
men: 63 to 11 g/day
women: 50 to 93 g/day |
|
T or F
MDRI's protein requirements are easily met protein comprises 20 to 25% of total energy. |
(F)
Protein comprises 10 to 15% of total energy and energy intake is adequate. |
|
Menu planners in military facilities will create menus w/____ percent or less of total calories from fat.
|
30
|
|
Input limitations for(a) saturated fat, (b) cholesterol
|
(a) 10%
(b) 300 (mg)/day |
|
