    Author: Gilbert LE, Newell GK, Vaden AG, Dayton AD.
    Journal: J Am Diet Assoc; 1983 Dec; 83(6):681-6. PubMed ID: 6643883.
    Abstract:
    Levels of energy intake and selected nutrients in the diets of elementary school children, as observed in a Kansas Nutrition Education and Training Program needs assessment project, are reported. For almost half of the girls and boys in the study, energy intakes exceeded 100% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA); for most of the students, protein intakes exceeded 125% of the RDA. Magnesium, iron, and vitamin B6 were the nutrients most limiting in the diets. Implications for nutrition education are discussed.
