Diets for children and adolescents that meet the dietary goals
J. Dwyer
The parents of many elementary and secondary schoolchildren ask
pediatricians for advice on how to feed diets that are in line with the US
Dietary Goals or the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This article
outlines an approach for planning diets that fit these recommendations
while also assuring that intakes approximate the recommended dietary
allowances and the estimated safe and adequate intakes of nutrients
provided by the Food and Nutrition Board, National Research Council.
