Question
Answer
the 6 essential nutrients   protein carbs fat vitamins water minerals  
🗑
essential nutrients are   substances that the body must get from food because it cannot manufacture them all or fast enough to meet it's needs  
🗑
3 classes of nutrients that supply energy   protein fat carbs  
🗑
ratios - grams to calories   1 gram protein = 4 calories 1 gram carbs = 4 cal 1 gr fat = 9 cal 1 gram alcohol 7.2  
🗑
kilocalorie   measure of energy content in food  
🗑
6 essential nutrients are   protein, carbs, fat, vitamin, mineral, and water  
🗑
essential nutrients are   Substances that the body must get form food because it is inable to manufacture them all or fast enough to meet it's needs  
🗑
3 classes of nutrients that supply energy   protein, carbs, fat  
🗑
ratios grams to calories   1 gr protein=4 calories 1 gr carbs = 4 calories 1 gram fat= 9 calories 1 gram alcohol = 7.2 calories  
🗑
kilocalorie   measure of energy content in food ; amt of heat it takes to heat 1 liter of water 1C  
🗑
protein   Basis of body structure ; Building blocks; Made of amino acids that contain carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen ; out of 20 aminos 9 are essentials; Key part of main structural components : muscle, bone, blood, enzymes, cell membranes and hormones.  
🗑
protein   1 gram = 1lb; when losing weight eat more to keep muscle  
🗑
2 types of protein   complete and incomplete  
🗑
complete proteins   foods that supply all of the essential aminos acids in adequate amts : ( meat, fish, poultry,eggs,milk,cheese,soy)  
🗑
incomplete proteins   foods that supply most but not all of essential amino acids : (plants, beans, grains, nuts )  
🗑
Biological value of protein   Ranking system of protein; By product of cow high 90's;Whey protein- highest % closest to human muscle. Eggs- 100%; Soy- inferior- fido estrogens ( plant source of hormone )Fish better than soy/meat;pork- bird most common  
🗑
Protein Intake   1-3 grams per LB ( HIGH ) 50 grams per meal Acceptable Macronutirent Distribution Range= 10-35% of total daily calories as protein; Extra protein is stored as fat

🗑
Types of Fats   Trans Fat ; Saturated Fat ; polyunsaturated ; monounsaturated  
🗑
Trans fat   unsaturated fat that has been hydrogenated ; Hydrogen added to unsat fat producing a mixture of saturated fatty acids + standard+ transforms of unsaturated fatty acids  
🗑
Saturated fats   clogging; solid at room temp; raises cholesteral and LDL; coconut oil the highest in saturated fat; raises chances for heart disease, colon and prostate cancer.  
🗑
Polyunsaturated Fat   2 FORMS : Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6 fatty acids. A fat with two or more carbon carbon double bonds; usually liquid at room temperature. Found in nuts, certain vegetables, vegetable oils, and fatty fish  
🗑
Omega 3 Fatty Acids   Produced when end most double bond of poly fatty occurs 3 carbons from end of fatty acid chain. Found primarily in fish. SOURCES- deep cold water fish and flax seed  
🗑
Omega 6 fatty acids   produced when the end most double bond of poly fat occurs 6 carbons from end of fatty acid chain. SOURCES- vegetable oil ( corn ) soybean, cottonseed oil  
🗑
Fats and Health   Fat affect blood cholesterol levels. LDL- Low Density Lipoprotein - BAD Cholesterol. HDL- High Density Lipoprotein- GOOD cholesterol. Saturated + Trans fats RAISE LDL levels and LOWERS HDL. Unsaturated LOWERS LDL levels  
🗑
HDL   High Density Lipoprotein-60+ ; lowered by trans fats; raised w omega 3's  
🗑
LDL   Low Density Lipoprotein-130  
🗑
Fats and Health   affects triglyceride levels, inflammation, heart rhythm, BP + cancar risk. Choose poly-omega3 & monounsaturated. Limit TRANS+ SATURATED FATS  
🗑
Carbohydrates   primary function - supply energy to cells. Muscle get most energy form carbs during high intense exercise. Some cells use only carbs for energy.  
🗑
Carbs   During digestion, carbs break into single sugar molecules - glucose for absorbtion into liver / muscles take up glucose and store in form of glycogen  
🗑

🗑
Whole Grains vs refined carbs   Whole grains - higher in fiber, vitamins, minerals and other than refined carbs ; take longer to digest ( feel fuller sooner, slower rise in glucose level ).  
🗑
Whole Grain   All grains are whole before processing : removal bran / germ. Refined carbs usually retain all calories of whole grain but lose many nutrients  
🗑
Whole Grain   Consist of bran (outer layer) protects seed,B vitamins, fiber ; Endosperm (middle layer) energy, carbs + protein; Germ ( inner layer)nourishment - antioxidants, vitamin E + B vitamins  
🗑
Glycemic Index   Carb consumption cause insulin / glucose levels in blood to rise / fall. MEASURE OF HOW THE INGESTION OF A PARTICULAR FOOD AFFECTS BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS. High levels cause quick / dramatic changes in glucose levels.
