IU, International Units; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; RNI, recommended nutrient intake. *Food and Nutrition Board, (2002/2005); energy is calculated for a low active pregnant woman aged 30 years in the second trimester with a body mass index of 18.5 kg/m2 and height 1.55 m (Food and Nutrition Board, 2002), from dietary recommended intakes females 19–50 years. From Food and Agriculture Organization/IAEA/World Health Organization, trace elements in human nutrition and health (1996). Assume moderate bioavailability of zinc during the third trimester.
