The National Health and Medical Research Council has set out guidelines to
encourage healthy living.......
Dietary guidelines for children and adolescents1. Encourage and support breastfeeding.2. Children need appropriate food and physical activity for normal
growth and development. Growth should be checked regularly.3. Enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods.4. Eat plenty of breads and cereals, vegetables (including legumes)
and fruits.5. Low fat diets are not suitable for young children. For older
children, a diet low in fat and in particular, low in saturated fat, is appropriate.
6. Encourage water as a drink. Alcohol is not recommended for children.
7. Eat only a moderate amount of sugars and foods containing added sugars.
8. Choose low salt foods.9. Eat foods containing calcium.10. Eat foods containing iron.

So, what do we need?
Nutritional requirements will differ from person to person according to:
AgeBody sizeActivityGenderRate of growthState of health
Nutrient Reference Value (NRV)
- A set of recommendations for nutritional intake based on currently available scientific knowledge

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)represents about 45–70% of daily energy expenditure, depending on age, gender, body size and compositionPAL (Physical Activity Level)Ranges from 1.2 (bed rest) to 2.2 (very active or heavy occupational work). PALs of 1.75 and above are consistent with good health. PALs below 1.4 are incompatible with moving around freely or earning a living. PALs above 2.5 are difficult to maintain for long periods
The unit of energy is the kilojoule (kJ) or megajoule (1 MJ = 1,000 kJ)4.18 kilojoules are equal to 1 kilocalorie.

How do we know what is in the foods we eat?
What you might see on food packaging......
Food composition table:-A list of common foods with an analysis of the nutrient content.
1000 micrograms (g)= 1 milligram (mg)1000 milligram (mg) = 1 gram (g)

In order to see if we are meeting our nutrient requirements, we must consider all of the foods we eat and their nutrient composition.
Text Book page 42 and 44 have examples of Food Composition Tables.
Read through table 2.9 on page 42 and answer the Activity questions on page 43.
