6 CHAPTER 1 QUESTION
1. Using the QR code in this chapter to calculate BMI, what would BMI be for an individual who is 5’6” tall and weighs 175 lbs.?
2. Which would be a more appropriate DRI for someone planning a menu in a facility: EAR or RDA?
ANSWER 28 kg/m2
RDA. The EAR only indicates adequate nutrients for 50 percent of a specific group, which could leave some clients with insufficient intake from the menu.
3. How could the following meal be modified to better fit MyPlate guidelines?
Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Bread, Milk CHAPTER 2 QUESTION
1. An apple contains carbohydrates (natural sugars), minerals, water, and vitamins. The only nutrients categories missing are protein and fat. If the apple was eaten with peanut butter, for example, the peanut butter would supply protein and fat.
2. Explain which would cause a client’s blood glucose concentration to increase more: honey in coffee or regular sugar in coffee. Why?
3. Which foods and beverages may contain added sugars?
• Canned Fruit • Bread • Soda • Chocolate • Fresh Fruit • Flavored Oatmeal Packets
4. How can the Nutrition Label from Figure 2.1 be used to determine the number of natural sugars in the product if there are 12 grams of total sugar and 10 grams of added sugars?
5. Which foods or beverages have more fiber:
• A bagel or a vegetable omelet? • Vegetable juice or a baked potato? • White rice or pinto beans?
6. How would using a fat-free salad dressing affect how the body uses the nutrients from dark, leafy greens?
7. What could be a better choice when limiting saturated fats?
• Bologna sandwich or tuna sandwich? • Ribeye steak or sirloin steak?
ANSWER
An apple contains carbohydrates (natural sugars), minerals, water, and vitamins. The only nutrients categories missing are protein and fat. If the apple was eaten with peanut butter, for example, the peanut butter would supply protein and fat.
They would be nearly identical in their effect on blood glucose concentration, because they honey and regular sugar both contain similar amounts of glucose and fructose.
Canned fruit in syrup contains added sugar, while canned fruit in juice often only contains natural sugar. Plain milk contains natural sugar. Eggs contain zero sugar. Bread typically contains natural sugar. Soda contains only added sugar. Chocolate milk contains natural and added sugar. Fresh fruit only contains natural sugar. Flavored oatmeal contains both natural and added sugar. Sweet potatoes contain only natural sugar.
Total grams of sugar (12) - grams of added sugar (10) = natural sugar -> 2 grams
Choose corn OR potatoes; include a non-starchy vegetable, such as green beans or carrots.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
Bagel < vegetable omelet; vegetable juice < baked potato; white rice < pinto beans.
Without fat, we cannot absorb the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) from the dark, leafy greens.
The tuna sandwich has less saturated fat than the bologna sandwich. The sirloin steak has less saturated fat than the ribeye steak.
