  5. Physical Activity • Energy in food should balance with energy used • Concentrate on body fat control more than weight • All foods healthy or not add up the same in calories • Excess calories stored as fat.

  6. Recommended Dietary Allowances • Definition: amount of nutrients that will prevent deficiencies and excess in most healthy people • Part of booklet: Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans • Illustrated by the Food Guide Pyramid • Americans 2 years and older • Guidelines for properly meeting nutritional needs

  7. Food Guide Pyramid • Illustrates Dietary Guidelines • Categorizes food according to serving and food groups • Guidelines for planning meals to meet nutritional needs • Larger segments of pyramid = greater recommended number of servings • Broad range of servings to take into consideration age gender physical activity, body size and activity level.

  11. Fat, Saturated Fat & Cholesterol • Top of food pyramid (use sparingly) • ~ 34% of average American diet • Recommended less than 30% calories from fat • High fat diets linked to obesity & some cancers • Saturated fat & cholesterol increase levels of cholesterol in blood increased risk for heart disease

  16. Tips for Salt Moderation • Become “Sodium Literate” • Avoid adding table salt to food • Consider using salt substitutes or trying herbs and spices • Taste food before salting, adding one shake at a time • Avoid salty snacks such as pretzels and chips • Remember.... MODERATION is the key
