Food Intake Patterns
daily-calorie: The suggested amounts of food to cosume from the basic food groups, subgroups, and oils to meet recommended nutrient intakes at 12 different calorie levels. Nutrient and Energy contributions from each group are calculated according to the nutrient-dense forms of foods in each group ( e.g., lean meats and fat-free milk). The Table also shows the discretionary calorie allowance that can be accommodated within each calorie level, in addition to the suggested amounts of nutrient-dense forms of foods in each group.
