Nutritious Diets

There is no perfect diet because

everyone is built different and has different

nutrient needs.

However, there are a few guidelines to

remember when creating a diet.

Remember, the word diet does not mean you

are losing weight. It is simply the foods youeat and the liquids you drink.

Nutrients Through the Lifespan

Each stage of the lifespan needs certain nutrients to help

the body properly develop.

Infancy, childhood and the teen years are the most

crucial years for proper intake of nutrients. The grow

nutrient is most important.

Pregnant and lactating women usually need an

increased intake of nutrients due to the changes in their

bodies.

Adults and the elderly tend to decrease their intake of

nutrients because their bodies are not growing. Instead,

adults and the elderly have a slower metabolism and

turn more nutrients into fat.

Weekly Diet Worksheet

Your task is to develop a weekly diet for a

teenager (either male or female) that follows the

components of a nutritious diet.

Later, after we discuss Dietary ReferenceIntakes, you will revisit your weekly diet and

make any necessary changes.

Use a pencil so changes can easily be made.

Keep your diet realistic: consider foods that a teenager

would want to eat, while remembering to present them

in a healthy way.

Dietary Reference Intakes

As a teen, your nutrient needs are higher now thanthey will be at any other time in your life.

Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs) standards, whichgive information on how much of each nutrient oneneeds to intake. They are part of the Recommended

Daily Allowances (RDAs). Remember, these requirements are researched

and are also based on a daily diet.

The USDA has a web link with a complete list ofDRIs listed at:

Dietary Reference Intakes Worksheet

You will make a DRI refrigerator magnet, specific foryou and your family, as a reminder for daily meals

Using the website listed below, customize the chart your

teacher will give you.

Be certain to write clearly, in pen You may cut the chart according to how many family

members you have

It is suggested that you shade each family members

row a different color using a colored pencil so it is

easier for them to read.The chart will be laminated and your teacher will give you
