Nutrient content of food portions
Nutrient Content of Food Portions provides a quick and easy way to assess the nutritional value of food.
In the past this has been a tedious and time-consuming exercise, but with the aid of this book teachers and students of Home Economics and anyone interested in planning and assessing their diets, as well as nutritionists and dietitians, will be able to make their analyses in the minimum of time and without the need to determine portion sizes.
The book provides tables of the nutrient content of foods calculated from a "normal" portion size and the information given in these tables includes - number, name and portion details for the food; energy values in kcal and kJ; and the content of the portion for 11 nutrients.
