Nutrient composition of recipes and menus were calculated with Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) Database Version 2012 Regents of the University of Minnesota, at www.ncc.umn.edu/products/ndsr.html. Nutrient totals include all ingredients except those listed as optional. When a choice of ingredients is presented, the nutrient composition for the first item was used in the calculations. Reasonable effort has been made to check the accuracy of this data; however, variations in natural and manufactured foods as well as deviations from the stated recipe or menu ingredients, amounts, and preparation methods will impact the nutrient composition. All nutritional values should be considered approximate. Conclusions regarding the nutritional adequacy of the diets are based on the sample menus shown and the current nutritional recommendations for women in my age group (51 to 70 years), who have higher calcium intake requirements than premenopausal women, or men under the age of 71. Note that nutritional recommendations are otherwise relatively similar between age groups. Always consult your health care provider to discuss your personal diet and nutritional needs and have these concepts adapted and personalized to your circumstances.
