Question 2

What limitations might these standard dietary assessment tools have for foreign students trying to assess their nutrient intakes?

Answer to Question 1

The results of a recent study at Harvard University showed that the display of nutrition information in the cafeteria caused an increase in the incidence of eating disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Language might be a barrier, particularly with recalling names of food items. Food items may be different and not found in U.S. nutrient databases. The DRI values, USDA Dietary Guidelines, and MyPyramid are based upon American eating and food habits.
