Describe the major differences between the following pairs of words or phrases: Recommended dietary allowance and dietary reference intakes

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) are levels of intake of essential nutrients based on age and gender that are judged to be adequate to meet the known needs of practically all healthy persons. The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI's) are revised, more detailed versions of the RDA's and refer to three types of reference values: Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) and Adequate Intake (AI)

Describe the major differences between the following pairs of words or phrases: Estimated Average Requirements and Tolerable Upper Intake Level

The Estimated Average Requirements indicates an adequate intake in 50% of an age and gender specific group, while the Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the maximum intake that is unlikely to pose a risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in an age and gender specific group

Describe the major differences between the following pairs of words or phrases:Complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrates are long chains of glucose molecules including glycogen and starch, while simple carbohydrates are short chains of glucose molecules and are referred to as sugars

Describe the major differences between the following pairs of words or phrases:Saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids

Saturated fatty acids are chains of hydrocarbons with no double bonds between carbon atoms.

Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, are fairly unstable, and are typically liquid at room temperature. Sources include olive, canola, peanut, corn, safflower and soy bean oils, and cold-water fish.

A client must achieve a 1,000-calorie deficit per day in order to lose 1 pound per week.

3,500 calories = 1 lb. Therefore, a 1,000 calorie per day deficit will lead to a loss of 2 pounds per week. The Dietary Guidelines recommend that those trying to lose weight aim for a 500-calorie deficit per day, achieved through decreased caloric intake and/or increased physical activity. Over the course of a week, the 3,500 calorie deficit should lead to a loss of 1 pound. For optimal long-term success and overall health, gradual weight loss of no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week is best.
