Tolerable Upper Intake Level

Table of Contents:

The UL represents the highest average level of nutrient intake that poses no risk of adverse health effects. Intakes above the UL increase risk of toxicity.

Estimated Energy Requirement

The EER represents the average intake of energy necessary to maintain energy balance for healthy individuals. Values for EER are calculated using equations that factor in age, gender, weight, height, and physical activity. Although EER may be calculated for four different activity levels (sedentary, low active, active, and very active), optimal health is consistent with “active” level or higher of physical activity. Like the EAR, the EER represents the average estimated need for individuals. This is done, rather making a generous recommendation, in order to avoid intakes that are excessive for most individuals.

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges

The AMDR represents the range of healthful intakes for carbohydrate, fat, and protein, expressed as a percentage of total energy intake. These ranges were set at amounts determined to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, while providing adequate nutrients. Additional recommendations are given for cholesterol, saturated fats trans fats, and added sugar.

Domains of knowledge for teachers - design and evaluation of the PD course on "probability and statistics at upper secondary level"
In this section, we will focus on the design of a PD course from the perspective of the facets of teachers’ knowledge that we addressed. The course also considered the design principles of the previous section, but as we explained in the introductory section, we will not make this explicit but focus...

What is meant by 'sensitive' - what levels of sensitivity can be tolerated?
The simple answer would be: none. However, there are probably obvious truths: small, adverse changes in the largest parameters will inevitably have the greatest effect as to whether there is a positive NPV and whether the project is viable. Another 'truth' from the arithmetic is that the largest amount,...

Estimating Energy Subsidies
Most energy sources are publicly subsidized in Tunisia, but to different extents. From a public finance perspective, the latest data available for both residential and nonresidentialconsumers in 2013 indicate that some 51% of total energy subsidies go to finance electricitysubsidies; 23% to diesel;...

Energy Requirements
Energy intake presents a delicate balance between unwanted weight gain and inappropriate weight loss. Basal calories fall 1-2% per decade over adult life, and for sedentary older adults, basal needs may equal 75% or more of total energy expenditure. Energy intake drops by about 450 kcal in women and...

Teaching the Distributive Property
Scenario Imagine you are a third- or fourth-grade teacher and you are aware that students in elementary school should learn the big idea of the distributive property (DP), ax(b+c) = axb+axc. This big idea may be introduced to students first informally and then formally. To proceed, you...

How is export income distributed within the industry?
A third important question to consider is how export income is distributed within the industry, including remuneration to creators of music. As one Australian music industry interviewee commented, We can all be exporting until the cows come home and supporting things locally, but if creators’ rights...
