QuestionAnswer
Name the different nutritional guidelines. Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance, Adequate Intake, & Tolerable Upper Intake Level
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) Amount of nutrients needed by half of the people in any one age group; deciphers population'd diet.
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) Average daily amount of a single nutrient that one needs to protect against nutritional deficiency (determined by EAR).
Adequate Intake (AI) Not enough information to seat an RDA.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) Highest level of a nutrient one can consume without risk of toxicity.
Energy Density The amount of energy in a food per unit of weight.
Nutrient Density The amount of nutrients per total calories in food.
Discretionary Calories Calories left over after you have met your nutrient goal by eating nutrient dense foods from all food groups.
What are the six essential nutrients? Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Water, Vitamins, & Minerals
Which nutrients are Macronutrients? Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, & Water.
Which nutrients are Micronutrients? Vitamins & Water
What is the main function of Protein? Structural components: skin, muscles, organs, and glands.
What is the main function of Carbohydrates? #1 source of neurologic energy. Fuels high-intensity activities.
What is the main function of Fats? Principle form of stored energy. Insulates the body, supports and cushions organs, absorb fat-soluble vitamins, add flavor and texture to foods.
What is the main function of Water? Digest, absorb, transport nutrients. Regulate body temperature. Carries waste products out of the body.
What is the main function of Vitamins? Catalyst for releasing energy. Aid in chemical reactions. Help maintain immune, nervous, and skeletal systems.
What is the main function of Minerals? Build strong bones and teeth. Assist in carrying out metabolic processes. Maintain proper functioning of most body systems.
Which of the essential nutrients supply energy? How much do each supply? Carbohydrates & Protein. 4 calories/gram; fat = 9 calories/gram
Name the two different types of fats. Saturated & Unsaturated.
Give an example of a saturated fat. Trans-fats: partially vs. fully.
Give an example of unsaturated fats. Monosaturated (good fats) & Polyunsaturated (Omega 3 & 6).
RDA for fiber for men. 38 grams/day.
RDA for fiber for women. 25 grams/day.
Insoluble fiber: Feeling of fullness; natural laxative.
Soluble fiber: Lowers blood cholesterol; maintains blood glucose levels.
Complete Proteins: Meat sources.
Incomplete Proteins: Plant sources.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Number of calories needed at rest.
Portion Size: Amount of food eaten at one time.

What are the Physical Activity Guidelines for adults? 150 minutes/week moderate-vigorous; or 75 minutes/week vigorous (at least 10 minute episodes). 300 minutes/week moderate-vigorous; or 150 minutes/week vigorous. Muscle strengthening 2+ days/week. Flexibility training 2-3 day/week.
Baseline: Activities of daily life; light intensity.
Skill-Related: Components/attributes influence performance level - less related to health.
Health Enhancing: Direct effect on health status, disease risk, and day-to-day functioning.
Aspects of health-enhancing activities: Cardiorespiratory endurance, Muscle strength, Muscle endurance, Flexibility,Body Composition.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance: Circulatory + respiratory systems = sustained physical activity. Prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic exercise.
Muscle Strength: Ability of muscle(s) to generate force.
Muscle Endurance: Sustain effort via continuous/repeated exertion (Yoga)
Flexibility: Ability to joint to move through its range of motion (ROM).

Body Weight: Mass of an organism's body.
Body Composition: Body's relative amounts of fat mass and fat-free mass.
3 factors related to a healthy body weight. Acceptable BMI. Fat distribution not a risk for illness. Absence of medical conditions suggesting need for weight loss/gain.
Factors that affect body composition: Genetics, Gender, Age, Metabolism, Fat Cells.
Set Point Theory: Brain regulates body weight around a genetically predetermined level or "set point"
BMI classifications: Waist Circumference & Waist-to-hip ratios.
How much essential fat do men need? 3-5% of total body weight.
