FOOD SOURCES NUTRIENT DENSITY: click here WHAT IS NUTRIENTDENSITY? Simply said: Comparison of nutrient content to caloric content In other words, how much nutrient is present in how many calories? One way to evaluateNUTRIENTDENSITY In this assignment You will compare % Daily Values of nutrients to % Daily Value of calories Remember: There is a LIMITATION TOAM’T OF CALORIES To maintain weight, calories in must equal calories out….. WITH TOO MANY CALORIES you gain weight….. SO you are limited on calories. Remember EXAMPLE: 1 bean cheese burritop. 158 of workbook You calculated % ofDAILY VALUES forvitamins minerals for onefood.EXAMPLE IN CLASS was 1 bean cheese burritop. 158 of workbook If we assume a Daily Value of calories as 2000 AND we determine that  1 bean cheese burrito contains 189 kcal, then 189 *100 = 9.4% of calories 2000  This means that  1 bean cheese burrito supplies 9.4% of calories and this line can be drawn across the bar graphs as shown in the next two slides: If we decide that: 1X calories: GOOD SOURCE 2X calories: EXCELLENT SOURCE (of nutrient)Then in the burrito example 9.4% = Good  18.8% = Excellent  of any nutrient Follow the directions on theextra credit assignment sheet.Remember late work willnot receive credit. HINT: You need only calculatethe % of calories;all other values are the % DAILY VALUES! * There are 28 slides In this program. Click with your mouse, to move on the next slide.
