foods that provide health benefits beyond those supplied by the traditional nutrients they contain. For example, a tomato contains the phytochemical lycopene, so it can be called this.

ratio derived by dividing a food's nutrient content by its calorie content. When the food's contribution to our nutrient need for that nutrient exceeds its contribution to our calorie need, the food is considered to have a favorable nutrient density

a comparison of the calorie (kcal) content of a food with the weight of the food. An energy-dense food is high in calories but weighs very little, whereas a food low in energy density has few calories but weighs a lot, such as an orange

the nutrional health of a person as determined by anthropometric measurements *height, weight, circumference, and etc* , biochemical measurements of nutrients or their by-products in blood and urine, a clinical (physical) exam, a dietary analysis,

Failing health that results from long standing dietary practices that do not coincide with nutritional needs

A state in which nutritional intake greatly exceeds the body's need.

failing health that results from a long standing dietary intake that isnot enough to meet nutritional needs

a change in health status noted by the person with the problem, such as stomach pain

stage of a disease or disorder not severe enough to produce symptoms that can be detected or dx

anthroprometric assessment

measurement of body weight and the lengths, circumferences, and thicknesses of parts of the body

biochemical assessment

measurement of biochemical functions (concentration of nutrient by - products or enzyme activities in the blood or urine) related to a nutrients function

Question	Answer
Functional foods	foods that provide health benefits beyond those supplied by the traditional nutrients they contain. For example, a tomato contains the phytochemical lycopene, so it can be called this.
nutrient density	ratio derived by dividing a food's nutrient content by its calorie content. When the food's contribution to our nutrient need for that nutrient exceeds its contribution to our calorie need, the food is considered to have a favorable nutrient density
energy density	a comparison of the calorie (kcal) content of a food with the weight of the food. An energy-dense food is high in calories but weighs very little, whereas a food low in energy density has few calories but weighs a lot, such as an orange
nutritional state	the nutrional health of a person as determined by anthropometric measurements height, weight, circumference, and etc , biochemical measurements of nutrients or their by-products in blood and urine, a clinical (physical) exam, a dietary analysis,
Malnutrition	Failing health that results from long standing dietary practices that do not coincide with nutritional needs
over-nutrition	A state in which nutritional intake greatly exceeds the body's need.
Undernutrition	failing health that results from a long standing dietary intake that isnot enough to meet nutritional needs
symptom	a change in health status noted by the person with the problem, such as stomach pain
subclinical	stage of a disease or disorder not severe enough to produce symptoms that can be detected or dx
