title: Nutrient analysis of Exchange Lists for Meal Planning. I. Variation in nutrient levels.
abstract: Using available food composition data, individual Exchange Lists within the revised Exchange Lists for Meal Planning were evaluated for calories; protein; fat; calcium; phosphorus; iron; sodium; potassium; vitamin A; thiamin; riboflavin; niacin; ascorbic acid; saturated, oleic, and linoleic fatty acids; cholesterol; and crude fiber. Mean values, standard deviations, and ranges are reported for the above nutrients. Mean values agreed well with those suggested in the booklet for grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat and for calories for all lists except milk. However, a wide range in values exists for food within each Exchange List.
