Nutrition
• Nutrition means eating the foods the body
needs to grow, develop and work properly.
• Good nutrition can have the greatest
impact on having good health.
• The foods we eat usually fall under three
basic categories:
– Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram)
– Proteins (4 calories/gram)
– Fats (9 calories/gram)
Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are sugars and starches
that give you energy.
• The basic building blocks of carbs are
called saccharides.
• There are two basic kinds of carbs:
– Simple carbohydrates: Sources of fastburning energy made up of “empty calories”
that result in a crash.
• Candy, white bread (monosaccharides,
disaccharides)
– Complex carbohydrates: Sources of slowburning, nutritious energy.
• Whole grain bread, pasta (polysaccharides)
Fat
• Fat provides stored energy and insulates
the body. You need fat to be healthy!
– The added weight of fat can be harmful to
your body and make it hard to exercise.
• There are two main types of fat:
– Saturated fat is a type of fat that is solid at
room temperature. (Ex: lard, butter)
• Eating saturated fat increases your cholesterol,
which can cause heart disease.
– Unsaturated fat is usually a liquid at room
temperature. (Ex: olive oil)
• You are born with a
certain number of fat
cells.
– These cells shrink or
grow larger depending
on how much you eat
and exercise.
– If you eat enough they
will multiply, so you can
have more fat cells.
– However, you can never
lose fat cells.
Fat
Protein
• Proteins are nutrients that help to
build cells and make them work
properly.
• Proteins also give us energy and
build muscle.
• The basic building blocks of
protein are called amino acids.
• Proteins can be found in fish,
eggs, and nuts.
Other Sources of Nutrition
• Vitamins are substances the
body needs to work properly.
(A, C, D, K)
• Minerals are nonliving
substances the body needs
to work properly. (Calcium,
iron)
• Fiber is the part of food your
body cannot digest. It helps
clean your insides as it
passes through your body.
Assignment for Tomorrow
• Record everything
you eat and drink.
• Try to record serving
sizes as well, and
how many calories
are in a serving.
• We will go to the lab
Wednesday to
calculate our calorie
balance, so have
these recording
sheets ready!
