20 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Available carbohydrate
- Carbohydrate that is available for digestion and absorption in the specified calculation, distinct from an assumption that every gram of dietary fiber has the same metabolic effect.
- Glycemic load
- A portion-sensitive calculation combining the specified glycemic index and available carbohydrate amount, rather than a complete assessment of overall dietary quality.
- Indispensable amino acid
- An amino acid that must be supplied adequately through the diet because endogenous synthesis does not meet human requirements in the relevant context.
- Protein complementation
- Combining protein sources with different limiting amino acid patterns within a varied adequate diet, without requiring one rigid pairing in every meal.
- Edible fraction
- The proportion of purchased food remaining as the edible material defined by the recipe, which must be distinguished from cooking yield and plate consumption.
- Food-frequency questionnaire
- An assessment tool designed to describe frequency and patterns over a stated period, generally more useful for habitual intake than exact single-day nutrient measurement.
- Dietary recall
- A retrospective description of food and beverage intake whose usefulness depends on memory, portion estimation, interviewing and the actual period being assessed.
- Screening
- A structured process for identifying people who may need fuller assessment, without treating the screening result as a complete diagnosis or treatment plan.
- Enteral nutrition
- Nutrition delivered through the gastrointestinal tract using a route and product selected according to assessed needs, function, safety and the responsible clinical process.
- Parenteral nutrition
- Intravenous provision of nutrients when clinically indicated, requiring appropriate access, formulation, monitoring and coordination rather than ordinary food-service substitution.
- Refeeding risk
- The possibility of important electrolyte, metabolic and fluid shifts when nutrition is reintroduced after inadequate intake, requiring assessed and monitored clinical care.
- Malnutrition assessment
- Integration of relevant intake, body changes, function, disease and other evidence rather than reliance on one serum protein concentration or visual impression.
- Cross-contact
- Unintended transfer of an allergenic material to another food, requiring control of ingredients, equipment, storage, preparation and actual recipe changes.
- Cross-contamination
- Transfer of a biological, chemical or physical hazard between materials, people, equipment or foods through a pathway that should be identified and controlled.
- Verification
- Checking whether the food-safety system functions as intended, distinct from routine monitoring of a specified control during current operations.
- Sensitivity
- The proportion of people with the defined reference condition who have a positive test, distinct from the probability of disease after a positive result.
- Specificity
- The proportion of people without the defined reference condition who have a negative test, with one minus specificity giving the false-positive rate.
- Absolute risk
- An event probability or proportion within a stated population and time period, requiring a clear denominator rather than only a comparison between groups.
- Relative risk
- A ratio of risks in defined groups, which should be interpreted alongside absolute risks, study design, uncertainty and the relevant period.
- Behavioral goal
- A defined feasible action with an agreed way to assess progress, rather than an unspecific intention or a guaranteed clinical outcome.
