Maternal Nutrition Resources

چکیده
Food composition tables available in many countries can help field workers identify good, local sources of nutrientrich foods. The Food and Agriculture Organization’s website (www.fao.org/infoods) lists countries or regions with food composition tables. The nutrient content of specific quantities of most foods can be calculated using the nutrient database on the United States Department of Agriculture website (www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp). Additional resources on maternal nutrition are available from the LINKAGES Project and members of the CORE Group.
