Life-stage groups and nutrient intake values<br />
D-A-CH [8] A guiding value of > 50% of <strong>dietary</strong> energy from carbohydrates is substantiated<br />
by epidemiologic findings. No special recommendations <strong>for</strong><br />
pregnant or lactating women<br />
European Union [10] No recommendation given No recommendation given<br />

RDA 40%<br />
Netherlands [40] d Digestible carbohydrates: RDA 40%, <strong>based</strong> on the 97.5 percentile of<br />
endogenous glucose production. This remains unchanged during pregnancy;<br />
RDA is the same <strong>for</strong> pregnant and nonpregnant women<br />

Energy<br />
EER <strong>for</strong> age plus milk energy output minus weight loss<br />
Canada/USA [6] a EER <strong>for</strong> age plus change in TEE plus pregnancy energy deposition (different<br />
<strong>for</strong> each of 3 trimesters)<br />
Caribbean [16] Additional energy suggested by WHO [9] (285 kcal/day) Energy <strong>for</strong> age plus milk energy, the energy cost of producing the milk<br />
and an assumed 80% efficiency of conversion of <strong>food</strong> energy to milk<br />
minus energy from weight loss<br />
Considering the energy contents of breastmilk, energy needs <strong>for</strong> milk synthesis<br />
and utilization of maternal endogenous fat stores during lactation,<br />
the recommended additional energy intake independent of PAL is:<br />
Up to completion of 4th month: + 2.7 MJ (635 kcal)/day<br />
After the 4th month:<br />
Full breastfeeding + 2.2 MJ (525 kcal)/day, partial breastfeeding + 1.2 MJ<br />
D-A-CH [8] f Energy requirement is calculated by considering the BMR, physical activity,<br />
thermogenesis after <strong>food</strong> intake, and needs <strong>for</strong> growth, pregnancy<br />
and lactation. Pregnant women should receive an additional 1.1 MJ (255<br />
kcal)/day <strong>for</strong> the duration of pregnancy, independent of PAL<br />
(285 kcal)/day<br />
Energy requirements proportional to quantity of milk produced, considering<br />
the conversion efficiency of <strong>dietary</strong> energy to milk energy (now<br />
proposed 97%) and average weight loss following delivery<br />
EER estimated with BMR (WHO/FAO/UNU, 1985) [9] and PAL<br />
Thin women: 1.7 MJ/day<br />
Overweight and normal-weight women: 0.75 MJ/day from 10th week of<br />
pregnancy to reach lowest neonatal and postnatal mortality<br />

Based on energy required <strong>for</strong> the production of human milk and an average<br />
metabolic combustion of 0.5 kg of body fat/mo (method used: factorial)<br />
(p58 + 59)<br />
continued<br />
Netherlands [40] d EAR + 1.2 MJ/day<br />
Based on increased metabolic rate and reduced level of physical activity<br />
during pregnancy (method used: factorial and 2H20 18O) (p57 + 58)<br />
