After Mrs. Kirby received nutritional advice, her neighbor asked for her help with calculating the contribution of energy from fats in her diet. For a long time, her doctor has been telling her to lower the fat intake below 30%% of her total calories, but she does not really know how to do it--much less how to calculate it. Mrs. Kirby explained how she did her calculations, and the neighbor showed her "her numbers." Together they came up with total calorie intake of 2200 kcal and 63 g of fat. What is the percentage contribution of energy from fat in Mrs. Kirby's neighbor's diet?

Anna tries to keep her kilocalorie intake under control. She eats mostly lean meats or fish and a lot of vegetables. Yesterday, for dinner, she had 3 ounces of baked salmon with half a cup of mashed sweet potatoes and about a cup of steamed asparagus. She is concerned about her weight and decided to calculate the kilocalories in her meal. She looked up the nutrient content of her foods and she consumed 7 grams of fat (in salmon) 36 grams of carbohydrates (in sweet potatoes and asparagus) 27 grams of protein (in salmon, sweet potatoes, and asparagus). How many kilocalories did Anna consume for dinner? How many of Anna's kilocalories came from proteins?

Mrs. Kirby, 58, is a moderately active woman. She works in the garden almost daily, occasionally walks with her friends, and babysits her three very active young grandchildren every weekend. She eats a fairly standard diet every day: she has cereal with milk and coffee for breakfast, some kind of salad for lunch, and a piece of meat or fish with a healthy helping of veggies for dinner. She usually skips desserts or has just a couple of strawberries. When asked to look at the food labels and calculate her intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in grams over the entire day, on an average day, she came up with the following numbers: Carbohydrates: 243 g Fats: 41 g Proteins: 63 g Calculate what percentage of Mrs. Kirby's total energy intake came from carbohydrates.

Nutrition information is everywhere, but how do you know what to trust? It is essential to evaluate credentials, credibility, relevance, and quality of research for each source you consider. It is also important to understand how to identify and avoid sensationalism. Choose the options that are most likely to be sources of reliable nutrition information: Select all that apply. a nutritionist at a health food store a supplement website a peer-reviewed scientific journal a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) a personal trainer

a peer-reviewed scientific journal a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) The scientific method is a standardized process used to generate research findings. It starts with an observation of a phenomenon, which leads to a research question called a hypothesis. An experiment can then be designed and conducted. From the experiment, data are collected and analyzed, and the results may support or refute the original hypothesis. The results also may lead to additional questions. If the hypothesis is not supported, the researchers may revise their hypothesis and conduct another experiment. Once findings are obtained, they are typically summarized into an article for submission to a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Before an article can be accepted, other scientists (peers) review the work. This can help reduce bias, while improving accuracy and credibility of the research. Hint 2. Registered dietitian vs. nutrition is hint The terms "dietitian" and "nutritionist" are sometimes used interchangeably, but can have very different meanings. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, or RDN (also called a Registered Dietitian, or RD), must complete at least a bachelor's degree in nutrition from an accredited college or university. In addition, an approved internship or "supervised practice" is required. Upon completion of the coursework and internship, each candidate must then pass a national credentialing exam to obtain the RDN credential. A "nutritionist," however, has no specific credentialing requirements. Therefore, some may give credible advice, while others may have no formal training in nutrition at all. Nutritionists are generally not permitted to provide medical nutrition therapy in hospitals or similar health care settings, but are often employed by gyms, health food stores, supplement companies, or alternative health care providers.
