The document outlines the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) established by Dr. Rohini C. Sane, emphasizing nutrient requirements for maintaining health in various demographics, including adults and children. It discusses the composition of balanced diets, the importance of proper food combinations to meet nutrient needs, and factors influencing dietary requirements. Additionally, it highlights specific recommendations for different age groups and conditions such as pregnancy and lactation.



































Introduction to dietary planning by Dr. Rohini C Sane.
Definition of RDA. It ensures nutrient quantity for health efficiency, with the safe protein range of 0.75-0.8 g/kg/day. Adjustments by WHO and ICMR.
Detailed nutrient requirements for a 70kg adult. Includes carbohydrates (400g), fats (70g), proteins (56g), and various vitamins and minerals.
Factors influencing RDA include age, sex, weight, geographical location, economic status, and physical activity levels. Gender variations and needs during growth and pregnancy are noted.
Recommended protein allowances: Infants (2.4g), children (1.75g), adults (0.8g), pregnant/lactating (2.5g).
Introduction to balanced diets by Dr. Rohini C Sane.
A balanced diet contains essential nutrients in proper proportions. ICMR guidelines for vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets are provided, emphasizing health and reduced fat intake.
Balanced diets must consider local food availability, economic means, food habits, digestibility, and roughage.
Nutrient quantity recommendations for adults (sedentary, moderate, heavy work) for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian types, specified in grams per day.
ICMR guidelines for balanced diets for different age groups of children, specifying daily intake of cereals, pulses, vegetables, milk, and fats.
Nutritional composition of milk from various species. Highlights energy content and vitamin distribution.
Functions of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and minerals in milk. Emphasizes milk's role in nutrition despite some deficiencies.
Key considerations in diet prescription, including calorie and nutrient requirements.
Essential rules for a balanced diet, including nutrient balance, ideal body weight, and dietary adjustments based on individual's health.
Proximate principles include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins alongside necessary vitamins and minerals.
Steps to calculate daily calorie needs based on activity level and individual requirements.
General composition of food and the food exchange system to meet calorie and nutrient intake.
Analysis of cereal and pulse combination for protein requirement in Indian diets, promoting nutritional balance.
Quantities of dietary components recommended for vegetarian and non-vegetarian adults (60kg) with sedentary activity.
Division of daily nutrient intake into three meals: breakfast, lunch, and supper.
Nutritional objectives for elderly: enhance life expectancy, reduce disease risk, and assess daily requirements.
