utilized diet

I would think that "food utilization" could be thought of also as the nutrients absorbed...at least that's the idea the examples posted give me.

My husband, a veterinarian, says the word diet is used in animal feed and animal experiments, rather than food.
Peer comment(s):

neutral n/a (X) : Yes, your husband is correct in general terms. However, 'food utilization' happens to be the term used for what is described here (the references posted are a couple of many). All the best....
