Understanding the dietary needs of the individual
Nutrient needs vary in individuals according to:
* the amount of growth that is occurring. Prenatal growth and the period
of infancy are the most rapid periods for growth, though relative size is
very small. Adolescence is the second most rapid period of growth
* the level of physical activity. Highly active individuals will use up
more energy for everyday activity than those who lead a more sedentary life
style
