For the purpose of establishing effective methods for health and nutritional educations through the situation of nutrient intake in young women, we measured physical parameters and the resting energy expenditure(REE), and asked questions about the food contents consumed in 117 young women. Measured energy intakes were greater than the necessary level calculated from REE but lower than the Japanese standard for the equivalent generation. The intake of carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals was insufficient compared with necessary levels. Among the 117 women, the group consuming rice frequently took a variety of foods and nutrients compared with the group eating rice less frequently. When food intake is decreased for reducing the energy intake, the intake of insufficient nutrients per se tend to lower more severely. Therefore, effective educational methods are to instruct young women to raise the energy consumption including REE and the basal metabolism by appropriate exercise and to maintain the nutritional balance by taking rice, for example, as the staple food.
