Chapter 5 Client Based Nutrition Services Flashcards
recommended intake of carbs, fats, proteins
acceptable macronutrient distribution range
important molecule in metabolism that is formed as intermediate in the oxidation of carbs, fats, and proteins.
acetyl-CoA
energy storage and transfer unit within cells of body
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
estimated amount of a nutrient per day consumed by ppl assumed to be maintaining adequate nutrition
adequate intake
one of the mian types of connective tissue where fat is stored
adipose tissue
essential amino acids including leucine, isoleucine, and valine that can be used as energy directly in muscle.
branched chain amino acids BCAAs
scientific unit of energy
calorie
skeletal structure of am organic compound, series of atoms bonded together that form the essential structure of the compound
Carbon skeleton
a carbon atom joined to a hydroxl group by a single bond and to an oxygen atom by a double bond
carboxyl group -COOH
protein commonly found in mammalian milk
casein
metabolic process that breaks down molecules
catabolism
federal agency that conducts and supports activities related to public health
CDC - center for disease control and prevention
energy contained in a molecule that has not yet been released in carbohydrates, fats, or proteins
chemical energy
persistent disease lasting 3 months or longer
chronic disease
consuming two or more incomplete proteins together to provide needed amino acids
complementary proteins
carb with >10 carbon/water units. whole grain and veggie starch/fiber examples.
complex carbohydrate
nonessential amino acids that cannot be produced due to disease, and must be acquired from dietary source
conditionally essential amino acids
compund made in the body but that can also be consumed in the diet, mostly from meat and fish. involved in the supply of energy for muscular contraction
creatine
guide to nutrients found within one serving of food
daily value
first step in breakdown of amino acids, includes the removal of the nitrogen grouo
deamination
general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy individuals
dietary reference intake (DRIs)
recommended intake for specific nutrients
dietary standards
act that defines and regulates dietary supplements; enacted by Congress following public debate concerning the role of dietary supplements in promoting health
dietary supplement health and education act of 94 DSHEA
minerals in blood and other body fluids that carry an electrical charge
electrolytes
series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors, generating ATP in the process
electron transport chain
calories that provide little or no nutrients
empty calories
the ability of a fat to mix with water
emulsification
supplements used to benefit athletic performance or exercise
ergogenic aids
amino acids that cant be produced by the body and must be acquired from food
essential amino acids
estimated amount of a nutrient per day at which the needs of 50% of the population will be met
estimated average requirement (EAR)
general recommendation for calorie intake based on formulas designed to include individual characteristics such as age, gender, height, weight, and level of physical activity
estimated energy requirement (EER)
total body mass, without the fat. it is the lean or nonfat components of the body
fat free mass (FFM)
a chain of carbons linked or bonded together, and the building blocks of fat in the human body
fatty acid
energy is neither created nor destroyed
1st law of thermodynamics
a redox cofactor, more specifically a prosthetic group, involved im several important metabolic reactions
