nUTRITIOMN , WHAT IS THE RDA ENERGY AND PROTEIN FOR FEMALE SCHOOL TEACHER

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

nergy requirements for lactation are proportional to the quantity of milk produced. The average energy content of human milk from well-nourished mothers is about 70 kcal/100 ml (WHO, 1985). The efficiency with which maternal energy is converted to milk energy is assumed to be approximately 80% (range, 76 to 94%) (Sadurkis et al., 1988; Thomson et al., 1970; WHO, 1985). Thus, approximately 85 kcal are required for every 100 ml of milk produced. Average milk secretion during the first 6 months of lactation is 750 ml/day; in the second 6 months, it is 600 ml/day. The coefficient of variation is 12.5%. Thus, the average woman would require an additional 640 kcal and 510 kcal/day in the first and second 6 months, respectively. The upper boundary of requirements (+ 2 SD) would be 800 and 640 kcal.
