Macronutrients |
Energy Yielding nutrients need in higher amounts
|
|
Microntrients |
Needed in smaller amounts (vitamins and minerals) |
|
Water |
Large amounts needed daily, most vital of all nutrients |
|
Carbs |
Carbohydrates and Proteins 4cal/g (provide energy) Fats 9cal/g Organic- contain carbon protein contains nitrogen
|
|
Glucose |
Major energy source
|
|
Organic |
Vitamens (carbon based) |
|
Inorganic |
Minerals (no carbon) vitamens and minerals do not provide energy |
|
EAR |
Estimate Average Requirement |
|
RDA |
Recommended Dietary Allowance based on EAR but set higher |
|
AI |
Adequate Intake, beset estimate of amount of nutrients for good health |
|
UL |

|
|
Food Label |
List of ingredients from biggest to smallest |
|
Digestion |
small intestine #1 for absoarbtion |
|
Salivary Amylase |
Enzyme, begins digestion in mouth |
|
HCI |
Hydrochloric Acid, helps increase mineral absorption |
|
Large Intestin |
Absoarbs water and electrolytes, no digestive envymes |
|
Pancreas |
Insulin and glucogen, creates glucagon |
|
Energy |
Brain relies on glucose and red blood cells |
|
Glycogen |
Store glucose for energy |
|
Monosacchrides |
Glucose, Frutose, Galactose |
|
Disaccharides |
Maltose= glucose + glucose Surcrose= glucose + frutose Lactose= glucose + galactose |
|
Polysacchrides |
Starch, Fiber, Glycogen glycogen is storage form of glucose, stored in muscle and liver |
|
lactose Intolerance |
eat small amounts throughout the day, eat dairy foods with meal or snack |
|
Gluconeogensis |
Making glucose, mostly from protein without glucose, fat can't be broken down, ketone bodies |
|
Ketosis |
elevated blood levels after fasting 2 days. Protein from muscle and organs broken down to make gluconeogensis |
|
Type 1 Diabetes |
Autoimmune Disease, no insulin, develops in childhood |
|
Type 2 Diabetes |
resistant to insulin |
|
Reactive Hypoglycemia |
small well balanced meals throughout the day |
|
3 lipids |
Triglycerides (fats) 3 fatty acids, one glycerol (backbone) Phospholipids every cell has them Sterols (cholesterol) precursor for vitamen D, bile acids, sex hormones
|
|
Saturated Fatty Acids |
No double bond |
|
Unsaturated Fatty Acids |
less saturated with hydrogen |
|
Monounsaturated fatty acids |
one double bond |
|
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids |
more than one double bond |
|
Chylomicrons |
made in intestin, tryglycerides with long chain fatty acids. Good and bad cholesterol HDL, LDL |
|
Two polyunsaturated fatty acids |
linoeic acid, alpha linolenic acid |
|
9 essential amino acids 11 non essential amino acids |
excess amino acids can be stored as fat, burned for energy, made into glucose
|
|
Collagen |
#1 protein in body, most abundant protein in body |
|
Nitrogen Balance |
AMount of protein consumed=amount of protein used |
|
Types of Vegetarions |
semi, lacto ovo, vegan |
|
Complete Protein |
All 9 amino acids and some non amino acids |
|
Incomplete Protein |
Complemented- two plant sources put tougher to make proteins, lacking at least one amino acids |
