This report, Dietary Reference Intakes: Applications in Dietary Planning, is the second of two reports in the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) series aimed at providing specific guidance on the appropriate uses of the new DRIs. The first report provided guidance on the appropriate methods for using the DRIs in dietary assessment. This report builds on the statistical foundations developed in the assessment report to provide specific guidance on which DRIs are appropriate for use in planning diets for individuals and for groups (both homogeneous and heterogeneous).
Dietary planning, whether for an individual or for a group, involves developing a diet that is nutritionally adequate without being excessive. The planning goal for individuals is to achieve recommended and adequate nutrient intakes using food-based nutrition education tools (such as the U.S Food Guide Pyramid or Canada's Guide to Healthy Eating). For group planning, the report presents a new approach based on the entire distribution of usual intakes within the group, rather than the mean intake of the group. The use of nutrient densities is proposed as a means to plan diets for groups comprised of various ages and both genders where both nutrient requirements and energy requirements differ within the group; detailed examples are provided.
The report highlights that diet planning is a cyclical activity that involves assessment, planning, implementation, and reassessment. Recommendations are made concerning areas in further need of research for both nutrient requirements and accurate determination of nutrient intakes to improve dietary planning.
