| nutrient density | the ratio derived by dividing a food's nutrient content by its calorie content |
| 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 needs |
| under nutrition | failing health that results from a long standing dietary intake that is not enough to meet nutritional needs |

| theory | am explanation for a phenomenon that has numerous lines of evidence to support it |
| control group | participants in an experiment who are not given the treatment being tested |
| placebo | generally a fake medicine or treatment used to disguise the treatments given to the participants in an experiement |
| Scientific method (6 steps) | Observation, hypothesis generated, research and experiments conducted, findings evaluated, follow-up experiments conducted, and accept or reject hypothesis |

| Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) | Nutrient intake amount sufficient to meet the needs of 97% to 98% of the individuals in a specific life stage |
| Adequate Intake (AI) | Nutrient intake amount set for any nutrient for which insufficient research is available to establish an RDA |
