About Dietary Guidelines and Reference Intakes

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit sits in the Food, Diet and Meal Planning strand of Nutrition and dietetics. It brings together two linked ideas: dietary guidelines, which tell people how to eat, and reference intakes, which set the nutrient amounts behind them. Mind maps make up most of the page. Flashcards and quizzes help you test what you have read.

Guidelines from different countries

Several resources look at national guidance. The Australian Dietary Guidelines appear as a mind map, a quiz and a flashcard deck. The quiz uses fill-in-the-blank wording, so you can check the exact phrasing of each guideline. For American guidance, try the mind map Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Lecture 4 Quiz, which asks about the four areas of the guidelines and weekly physical activity for adults. The EatWell Guide and Changes to the Dietary Guidelines add more points of comparison.

Reference intakes and nutrient values

If terms such as EAR, RDA, AI and UL blur together, start with the Nutrition Lecture #2 flashcards. They cover definitions, how EAR is used and how it is determined. Health&Nutrition: Nutrition Guidelines and Chapter 2 go further into the DRIs, AMDR and the pros and cons of diet recall and diet records. Week Four Nutrient Reference Values and Different NRVs cover the same ground from another angle.

Special dietary needs

Some resources look at particular groups. The CHILDREN UNDER 5 mind map covers coeliac disease, lactose intolerance, vegetarian and vegan diets. The Dietary Needs flashcards ask what each type of vegetarian can't eat, which nutrient they may lack and what to eat instead. Separate maps cover diabetic needs and lactose intolerance.

A simple order to follow

Read one guideline mind map for your country.
Work through the reference intake flashcards until the abbreviations feel familiar.
Take the matching quiz and note what you missed.
Go back to the map and fill those gaps.

Many maps share the same title, so open a few and keep the ones that suit how you learn. When you're ready, pick one resource and start with a quiz.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

If you want the national guidelines, open the Australian Dietary Guidelines mind map, then take the quiz of the same name. If reference intakes are your focus, start with the Nutrition Lecture #2 flashcards, which define EAR, RDA, AI and UL. Both give you a clear base before you move on to other resources.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are over 30 mind maps. Many summarize dietary guidelines for Australia, the United States and the UK's EatWell Guide. Others focus on special diets, such as vegetarian, diabetic and lactose-intolerant needs, or on feeding children under 5. Titles repeat, so open a few to compare.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources suited to?

They suit university students and school students studying nutrition, plus teachers who want ready-made material. The mix leans toward university level, with a good share for school students. You can use them to practice guideline wording, nutrient reference terms and dietary needs.

Which quizzes can I try here?

There is a small set of quizzes. Lecture 4 Quiz asks about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and physical activity. Australian Dietary Guidelines is a fill-in-the-blank quiz. Others include Nutrition Final, Chapter 2, Food Nutrition and dietry needs, so you can test different parts of the topic.

What if the topic I need isn't listed?

Try a nearby resource first, such as a guideline map from another country or a flashcard deck on nutrient reference values. If it still isn't covered, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz with a free account and keep it for later.
