Explanation:

• Calories: By definition, calories are units of energy in food, which matches option E.
• Dietary Guidelines for Americans: These are guidelines published by relevant US departments (USDA and HHS) to promote health - related eating patterns, so it matches option F.
• Empty calories: These are units of energy (calories) that supply few or no nutrients, corresponding to option I.
• Food allergy: It is a condition where the body's immune system reacts to a food as harmful, which is option K.
• Food intolerances: It's about the body not properly digesting certain foods (not an immune - reaction like allergy), so it matches option A.
• Malnutrition: A general term for poor nutrition, and undernutrition (a type of malnutrition) is when a person doesn't get or absorb enough essential nutrients, so malnutrition (in a general sense here) can be related to option G (and undernutrition would also be related). But since the question is about matching terms, and “malnutrition” is a broader term, and we assume the intended match is for the more specific “undernutrition” (though the options have “malnutrition” and “undernutrition” separately). However, looking at the definitions, “malnutrition” can be seen as a general umbrella. But if we consider the given options strictly, for “undernutrition” (though not labeled in the left list clearly, but assuming it's the last blank), it's a form of poor nutrition where nutrients are lacking, so it would match option G.
• MyPlate: It's a food guidance system by USDA about food group proportions, so it matches option C.
• Nutrient - dense foods: These are foods with vitamins, minerals etc. and little of bad fats, sugars, sodium, so it matches option J.

Answer:

Calories - E, Dietary Guidelines for Americans - F, Empty calories - I, Food allergy - K, Food intolerances - A, Malnutrition (assuming undernutrition match here) - G, MyPlate - C, Nutrient - dense foods - J.
