Diet Metrics: Hand Book of Food Exchanges

DIET METRICS is a user- friendly tool providing an insight on Standard Meal Planning Exchanges, Glycemic friendly and Renal Food Exchanges. Each of these exchanges have been extracted and summed up from the most standardized, recent and validated, Indian Food Composition Table (2017).

However, to ensure that this tool is more effective, nutrition care process details along with cultural variations will have to be taken into consideration. Portion size determination is also a prerequisite to ascertain nutrient adequacy of any dietary regime. DIET METRICS would prove to be a simple and handy tool to convert the nutrition prescription with near accuracy and ease to a practical menu plan, both at an individual and community level. Medical and allied health care professionals may find DIET METRICS as a valuable addition to their bookshelf.
