The Centre for Food in The Hague (Netherlands) provides charts of recommended quantities of foodstuff for children, teenagers and adults. We developed an inter-active query by lining up the daily nourishment quantities, necessary for a healthy and moderately active person of 12 years old or older. The questionnaire gives feedback to four target groups:
The last group (that eats a varied menu) is to be seen as the subset of consumers who stick to the minimum recommendations of the dutch Centre for Food. By filling in this test you can instantly make sure whether or not with your food articles (f.e. legumes) you get down enough nutrients (f.e. carbohydrates) every day. However, when your outcome differs we cannot determine through this test whether you sufficiently compensate a possible lack. In that case you should consult a centre for food or a dietician.
Start of the questionnaire. NB: use for the tests on the left Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla and allow "active content".
It goes for each of the four groups that when you score 100% under "varied menu", you get down sufficient nutrients. As for lower scores, 100% certainty can not be given. In that case and in order to obtain personal advice, either consult a centre for food (for vegetarian nutrition) in your country, or a dietician. Moreover you can always ask your physician to have your blood examined on containing sufficient nutrients. Of course it is no calamity when you consider yourself to be a vegetarian, but due to not being a hundred percent consistent you do not score the full 100%: what matters is that you reach 100% for "a menu that shows variety". By ticking off what you did not choose, you can see at which points you could eat more healthy.
