Abstract
This analysis assessed the nutrient content of foods depicted in Canada's Food Guide Snapshot. Nutrient contents per 2000 kcal were initially assessed by comparison to Daily Values (DVs). For essential nutrients provided in amounts <DVs, the probability of inadequacy was determined. DVs were met for "nutrients to limit", dietary fibre, and most essential nutrients. However, the probability of calcium and vitamin D inadequacy for reference individuals in most age/sex groups exceeded 50% and ranged up to >90%. Novelty Canadians who consume foods as depicted in the Food Guide Snapshot are likely to fall below dietary requirements for calcium and vitamin D.
