Nut or Lactose Intolerant

People with nut or lactose intolerances have special dietary needs to meet their energy requirements.
Nut allergies require avoidance of tree nuts and peanuts, sources of protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients.
Alternatives for those with nut allergies include seeds and legumes.
Lactose intolerance is due to the inability to break down lactose, a sugar in milk and dairy products.
Lactose-intolerant people can meet nutrient needs by consuming lactose-free dairy products, plant-based milk substitutes, and fortified foods.
Adjusting the diet is vital for maintaining a balanced, nutrient-rich diet that fulfils the body’s energy needs.
