nutricionalmente

Nutricionalmente is an adverb used in Spanish and Portuguese to mean "in a nutritional sense" or "from a nutrition standpoint." It forms from the noun nutrición or nutrição combined with the adjective nutricional and the adverbial suffix -mente. The term is typically used to indicate that a statement, assessment, or characteristic is being evaluated specifically for its nutritional aspects, rather than for taste, price, or convenience.

Etymology and form: The root nutri- derives from Latin nutrire, "to nourish." In both Spanish and Portuguese, nutricional describes something related to nutrition, while nutricionalmente marks the manner or basis by means of which that relation is considered. The word is not capitalized in ordinary use unless it begins a sentence.

Usage and style: Nutricionalmente appears in health journalism, dietetics, and academic writing to qualify claims about food and diets. Examples include: "Nutricionalmente, este alimento aporta proteínas y micronutrientes significativos" (Spanish) and "Nutricionalmente, esse alimento fornece proteínas e micronutrientes significativos" (Portuguese). In translation, the term corresponds to "nutritionally" in English.

See also: Related terms and translations include nutricional (adjective in both languages); nutrición (Spanish noun for nutrition) and nutrição (Portuguese noun for nutrition); nutriente (nutrient); nutricionista (nutritionist). The usual English equivalent is nutritionally.
