strategies for "lightening" food intake


Explanation:
OR
(very loosely translated)
strategies to eat "lighter" [on a daily basis].


"Lightened" food products as defined by the FDA (significantly reduced fat, calories, or soduium content):

Understanding Food Labels on Light, Reduced-Fat and Low-Calorie Foods

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food labeling regulations require that essentially all food labels provide nutrition information to help consumers make informed
food choices.

The regulations have a significant impact on low-calorie, low-fat and “light” foods and beverages which are so popular today. Definitions for terms such as “light” and
“low-fat” have been approved by FDA. The following is a summary of some of these definitions.

The Meaning of “Light”

FDA’s final regulations provide a specific definition for “light” (or “lite”). “Light,” without any additional clarification, may only describe a food which has been
significantly reduced in fat, calories, or sodium.

If a product is described as “light,” with no further explanation, consumers can be assured that:

for foods deriving more than 50 percent of calories from fat, the light product is reduced in fat by at least 50 percent; or
for foods deriving less than 50 percent of calories from fat, the light product is either reduced in calories by at least one third or reduced in fat by at least 50
percent; or
for foods with modified sodium content, the light product must be reduced in sodium by at least 50 percent.



"ration" = intake (as in "nutrient intake" [ration de nutriment] or "food intake")

French:Food Industries

ration alimentaire quotidienne par personne s F

English:Food Industries

daily food intake per head s
