c. 3 lbs d. 4 lbs
Q. 2What is the AMDR for carbohydrate?
a. 5-10 b. 15-25
c. 30-40 d. 45-65
Q. 3The percentages of kcalorie intakes for protein, fat, and carbohydrate that are thought to reduce the risk of chronic diseases are termed the
a. Estimated Energy Requirements.
b. Tolerable Range of Kilocalorie Intakes.
c. Estimated Energy Nutrient Recommendations.
d. Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges.
Q. 4What set of values is used to recommend the average kcalorie intake that maintains population groups in energy balance?
a. Estimated Energy Requirement
b. Adequate Average Requirement
c. Recommended Dietary Allowance
d. Acceptable Energy Distribution Range
Q. 5What does the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of a nutrient represent?
a. The maximum amount allowed for fortifying a food
b. A number calculated by taking twice the RDA or three times the AI
c. The maximum allowable amount available in supplement form
d. The maximum amount from all sources that appears safe for most healthy people
Q. 6Which of the following represents a rationale for DRI energy recommendations?
a. Because protein is an energy nutrient, the figures for energy intake are set in proportion to protein intake
b. Because a large number of people are overweight, the figures are set to induce a gradual weight loss in most individuals
c. Because the energy needs within each population group show little variation, the figures are set to meet the needs of almost all individuals
d. Because a margin of safety would result in excess energy intake for a large number of people, the figures are set at the average energy intake
