Look over Eating Plans A, B, C and D.

4. Compare each of these eating plans for their vitamin contents. (For each, add up the total amount of each vitamin in each food from information from the USDA National Nutritional Database (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov and click, “Start your search here.” To the left, under “Select Source,” select “Standard Reference.”) You must show your work in the above tables for credit!)

a. On the average, men need 90 and women need 75 mg of vitamin C per day. How much vitamin C is in eating plan C? [GR 2/20]

b. How much vitamin C is in eating plan D? [GR 2/20]

c. The DRI for folate is 400 mcg. How much folate (DFE—Dietary Folate Equivalents) is in eating plan A? [GR 2/20]

d. How much folate (DFE—Dietary Folate Equivalents) is in eating plan B? [GR 2/20]

e. The DRI for vitamin B12 is 2.4 mcg. How much vitamin B12 is in eating plan C? [GR 2/20]

f. How much vitamin B12 is in eating plan D? [GR 2/20]

5. Which of these eating plans is deficient in active vitamin A? (You should be able to quickly scan the meal plans and tell which is deficient in active vitamin A without calculating values.) “Vitamin A” is either active vitamin A (animal source), or beta-carotene (plant source), or a mixture of both, if from both animal and plant sources. [GR 1/20]

a. The RDA of vitamin A is about 900 mcg RAE (retinol activity units) for males, 700 mcg RAE for females. Does this eating plan have enough beta-carotene to compensate for its lack of active vitamin A? Your answer (yes or no) must be supported by the data you collected in the above tables. [GR 2/20]

6. Name three specific foods that could be added to Eating Plan C to increase the vitamin C content! [GR 1/20]

a)

b)

c)

7. Which of one the foods listed has the highest amount of folate? [GR 0.5/20]

8. Which one of the foods listed has the highest amount of natural (not supplemented) beta-carotene (plant-sourced vitamin A)? [GR 0.5/20]

9. Which one of the foods listed has the highest amount of vitamin C? [GR 0.5/20]

10. Which one of the foods listed has the highest amount of vitamin B12? [GR 0.5/20]
