18.2: Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are organic compounds and include the
sugars and starches
• The energy in their chemical bonds are used to power
cellular processes
• Excesses lead to:
• Obesity
• Dental caries
• Nutritional deficits
• Deficiencies lead to:
• Metabolic acidosis
• Weight loss
5
Carbohydrate Sources
• Carbohydrates are ingested in a variety of forms:
• Complex carbohydrates are polysaccharides that include:
• Starch from plant foods
• Gylcogen from meats
• Simple carbohydrates are:
• Dissaccharides from milk sugar, cane sugar, beet
sugar and molasses
• Monosaccharides from honey and fruits
• Digestion breaks complex carbohydrates into
monosaccharides that are small enough to be absorbed
• Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate abundant in our food
• It is not digested, but provides bulk (fiber or roughage)
6
Carbohydrate Use
• Monosaccharides that are absorbed include fructose,
galactose, and glucose

Carbohydrate Requirements
• The minimal requirements for carbohydrates in the human
diet is unknown
• Intake of at least 125 – 175 grams is necessary
• An average diet includes 200-300 grams
8
18.3: Lipids
• Lipids are organic compounds that include fats, oils, and fatlike substances such as phospholipids and cholesterol
• They supply energy for cellular processes and help to build
structures like cell membranes
• The most common dietary lipids are fats called triglycerides
• Excesses lead to:
• Obesity
• Increased serum cholesterol
• Increased risk of heart diseases
• Deficiencies lead to:
• Weight loss
• Skin lesions
• Hormonal imbalances
9
Lipid Sources
• Triglycerides are found in plant-based and animal-based
foods and include:
• From plants:
• Seeds, nuts and plant oils (olive, peanut and canola
are the healthiest)
• From animals:
• Meat, eggs, milk and lard
10
Lipid Use
• Lipids in foods are phospholipids, cholesterol and most
commonly, fats (triglycerides)
• They are oxidized for energy
• They are stored in adipose tissue
• Glycerol may be used to synthesize glucose

Lipid Requirements
• The lipid content of human diets varies widely
• The American Heart Association advises that the diet not
exceed 30% of total daily calories from fat
14
18.4: Proteins
• Proteins are polymers of amino acids
• They have a wide variety of functions, including building
more protein (structural protein, enzymes, hormones, and
plasma proteins) and supplying energy
• The waste product of protein metabolism is urea
• Excesses lead to obesity
• Deficiencies lead to:
• Extreme weight loss
• Muscle wasting
• Anemia
• Growth retardation

Protein Sources
• Foods rich in proteins include:
• Meats
• Fish
• Poultry
• Cheeses
• Nuts
• Milk
• Eggs
• Cereals
• To some degree legumes (beans and peas)
• The body needs 20 types of amino acids; those that can
be synthesized by the body are non-essential amino acids
(12) and those that cannot are essential amino acids (8)
18
Nitrogen Balance
• In healthy adults, protein is continuously built up and broken
down
• Proteins contain a high percentage of nitrogen
• The amount of nitrogen taken in is equal to amount excreted
• Negative nitrogen balance develops from starvation
• Positive nitrogen balance develops in growing children,
pregnant women, or an athlete in training
19
Protein Requirements
• In addition to supplying essential amino acids, proteins
provide nitrogen and other elements for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids and certain non-protein nitrogenous
substances
• The dietary amount varies according to body size, metabolic
rate, and nitrogen balance condition
• Typically protein intake is 10% of a person’s diet
• Most people should consume 60-150 grams a day
20
21
18.5: Energy Expenditures
• Carbohydrates, fats and proteins supply energy for all
metabolic processes
• Deficiencies can lead to death
• Excesses can lead to obesity
22
Energy Values of Food
• A calorie indicates the amount of potential energy a food
contains
• Calories can be measured from the content of foods
• The rate that the body expends energy can be measured
and is known as basal metabolic rate (BMR)
• This varies for:
• Carbohydrates
• 4.1 calories per gram
• Lipids
• 9.5 calories per gram
• Proteins
• 4.1 calories per gram

Energy Requirements
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR):
• The rate at which body expends energy at rest
• This primarily reflects energy needed to support the
activities of the organs
• This varies with gender, body size, body temperature,
and endocrine function
• Energy is needed:
• To maintain BMR
• To support muscular activity
• To maintain body temperature
• For growth in children and pregnant women
25
Energy Balance
• Energy balance occurs when caloric intake in the form of
food equals caloric output from BMR and muscular activities
• The body weight remains constant
• If, however, caloric intake exceed output, tissues store
excess nutrients
• This is a positive energy balance that leads to weight gain
26
Desirable Weight
• Most common nutritional disorders involve caloric
imbalances
• Desirable weight is difficult to determine
• Body Mass Index (BMI) is used today to assess weight
considering height
• A person is classified with BMI as either underweight,
normal weight, overweight, or obese
• Overweight is defined as exceeding desirable weight by
10% - 20%, or a BMI of 25 and 30
• Obesity occurs when a person is more than 20% above
desired weight, or with a BMI over 30
27
18.6: Vitamins
• Vitamins are organic compounds, other than carbohydrates,
lipids and proteins, that are essential for normal metabolic
processes
• Vitamins cannot be synthesized by body cells in adequate
amounts
• Vitamins are classified on the basis of solubility as either fatsoluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K) or water-soluble (the B
vitamins and vitamin C)
28
29
Fat-Soluble Vitamins
• The fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fats and are influenced
by lipids
• Bile salts promote fat-soluble vitamin absorption
• They are fairly resistant to heat (not destroyed by cooking
and/or food processing)
• Includes vitamins A, D, E, and K
30
31
Water-Soluble Vitamins
• The water-soluble vitamins include the B vitamins and
vitamin C
• Cooking and food processing destroy them
• B vitamins (six of them) are several compounds essential for
normal cellular metabolism and known as the vitamin B
complex
32
33
18.7: Minerals
• Dietary minerals are inorganic elements that are essential in
human metabolism
• These are usually extracted from the soil by plants
• They are obtained by humans from plant foods or animals
that have eaten plants
• They are responsible for roughly 4% of body weight
34
Characteristics of Minerals
• Minerals are most concentrated in the bones and teeth
• They are typically incorporated into organic molecules
(phospholipids, hemoglobin and iodine in thyroxine)
• They compose parts of the structural materials of all cells
• Homeostatic mechanisms regulate the concentration of
minerals in body fluids
• Mineral toxicity can result from too much of a mineral or
from overexposure to industrial pollutants, household
chemicals, or certain drugs
35
Major Minerals
36
Trace Elements
• Trace elements (microminerals) are essential minerals found
in minute amounts, each makes up less than 0.005% of body
weight
• They include:
• Iron
• Manganese
• Copper
• Iodine
• Cobalt
• Zinc
• Fluorine
• Selenium
• Chromium
37
38
18.8: Healthy Eating
• An adequate diet provides sufficient energy (calories),
essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins, and
minerals to support optimal growth and to maintain and repair
body tissues
• Requirements vary with age, sex, growth rate, level of
physical activity and stress, and genetic and environmental
factors
• Dietary requirements such as recommended daily
allowances (RDA) are best to follow
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Pyramid is
another tool to follow
• Nutritional information as well as ingredients are listed on

(a) Activity
Activity is represented by the steps
and the person climbing them, as a
reminder of the importance of daily
physical activity.
Proportionality
Proportionality is shown by the
different widths of the food group
bands. The widths suggest how much
food a person should choose from
each group. The widths are just a
general guide, not exact proportions.
Moderation
Moderation is represented by the
narrowing of each food group from
bottom to top. The wider base
stands for foods with little or no
solid fats or added sugars. These
should be selected more often. The
narrower top area stands for foods
containing more added sugars and
solid fats. The more active you are,
these foods can fit into your diet.

Malnutrition
• Malnutrition is poor nutrition that results from a lack of
essential nutrients or failure to use them
• Undernutrition – deficiency of essential nutrients
• Overnutrition – excess of nutrient intake
• Malnutrition can be a result of:
• Primary malnutrition – malnutrition from diet alone
• Secondary malnutrition – adequate diet but
individual characteristics make the diet insufficient
41
Starvation
• A healthy human can survive 50-70 days without food
• Symptoms include low blood pressure, slow pulse, chills,
dry skin, hair loss, and poor immunity
• Common nutritional disorders include:
• Marasmus – lack of all nutrients
• Kwashiorkor – protein starvation
• Anorexia nervosa – eating disorder; self-starvation
• Bulimia – eating disorder; binge and purge cycle
42
18.9: Lifespan Changes
• Dietary requirements remain generally the same throughout
life
• BMR rises in early childhood and peaks in adolescence
• BMR declines in adulthood
• Change in nutrition often reflects the effects of medical
conditions and the social and economic circumstances
