Discussion: The detail of the diet is given as a description of the Material associated via Participation.typeCode="product". Medically relevant diet types may be communicated in the Diet.code, however, the detail of the food supplied and the various combinations of dishes should be communicated as Material instances.
Examples: Gluten free; Low sodium

The supplied amount of carbohydrates (g) per day.
Discussion: For a diabetes diet one typically restricts the amount of metabolized carbohydrates to a certain amount per day (e.g., 240 g/d). This restriction can be communicated in the carbohydrateQuantity.
Returns: the attribute value
The supplied biologic energy (Calories) per day.
Discussion: This physical quantity should be convertible to 1 kcal/d (or 1 kJ/d). Note, avoid the existing confusion between "large Calorie" and a "small calorie." Nutrition labels on food products list "large Calories." It is more appropriate to use the small calorie, which is 1/1000 of a large Calorie. These are clearly distinguished in the HL7 units of measure tables.
