Quest # 1 Nutrition Info Outline—all put in own words, nothing copied from a book
Major Nutrients
Basic Definitions:
Nutrients—consumables that perform a function in the human body
Calories—units of measurement of energy
Macro-Caloric Nutrients (Large with Calories)
Proteins (4 calories/gram)--Made up of amino acids (AA’s); there are 20 amino acids; 9 are Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s); 11 are Endogenously created (they are made from ingredients in the body)
Complete Proteins—have all 9EAA’s (or all 20 AA’s)
Sources of Complete Proteins Enzymes that break Proteins down to AA’s
Meat pepsin—breaks long chains into short
Eggs trypsin—breaks short chains into AA’s
Dairy
Incomplete Proteins—DO NOT have all 9 EAA’s
Complementary Proteins--2+ Incomplete Proteins that together have all 9 EAA’s, creating a Complete Protein
Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram)—the preferred fuel of the body
Simple Carbs
Monosaccharides
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
Disaccharides Enzyme that breaks it down
Maltose = glucose + glucose Maltase
Sucrose = glucose + fructose Sucrase
Lactose = glucose + galactose Lactase
Complex Carbs
Fiber (2 calories/gram)
Soluble
Insoluble
Polysaccharides (Starch, etc.)
Fats (Lipids)(9 calories/gram)—heat, & cushioning
Saturated
Unsaturated
Mono-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA’s)
Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA’s)
Omega 3’s
Omega 6’s
Other (for our purposes)
Triglycerides
Cholesterol
HDL’s (High Density Lipoproteins)—‘good cholesterol’
LDL’s (Low Density Lipoproteins)—‘bad cholesterol’
Trans Fats (Hydrogenated Fats)—result of high heat applied to PUFA’s & used to extend shelf life of foods.
Macro-Non-Caloric Nutrient (Large, No Calories)
Water
Micro-Non-Caloric Nutrients (Small, No Calories)
Vitamins
Fat Soluble
Vitamin D—helps uptake calcium
Vitamin E—potent antioxidant
Vitamin K—helps in blood clotting
Vitamin A--
Water Soluble
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12—various energy uptake and production functions
Vitamin C—antioxidant and bone health
Biotin--
Choline
Folate
Pantothenic acid
Minerals
Metals
Na, Mg, K, Ca
Non-Metals
F, P, Cl, Se, I
Transition Metals
Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo
PhytoChemicals
Just remember anticancer for now. We’ll go into details later. They give fruits and vegetables their color.
