Q

Formulas for Proteins

A

Grains + legumes = complementary
nuts/seeds + legumes = complementary

21
Q

Incomplete Protein

A

An incomplete protein is one that does not contain all nine essential amino acids
These include the majority of plant-based sources:
Grains (except wheat and quinoa)
Beans and Legumes (except soy)
Fruits and vegetables (except avocado)

22
Q

Saturated Fat

A

Saturated fats come from MEATS , DAIRY PRODUCTS,
EGG YOLKS ,FISH , COCONUT OIL
You want to be cautious eating too much saturated fats as they can trigger INFLAMMATION, leading to migraines and ACHY JOINTS
They are also linked to heart disease because they stimulate the liver to make “BAD” cholesterol, which hardens into heart-clogging plaque

23
Q

Unsaturated Fats

A

Comes from plants and seeds
They are less STABLE than saturated fats so they go bad quicker (ex. Avocado)
Very healthy! They LOWER the “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and RAISE the “good” cholesterol
Three types:
MONOUNSATURATED
POLYUNSATURATED
OMEGAS
Contain ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID (EFA’s)

24
Q

Trans Fat

A

Most HARMFUL fats
They ESCALATE “bad” cholesterol and ERODE “good” cholesterol
Trans fats are created when oil is heated and combined with hydrogen
Trans fats are useful to the food industry because they have a long shelf life, good consistency, and taste good (frozen pizza, microwave popcorn)

25
Q

How to Read Food Labels

A

Check the serving size
Calories
Nutrient content
Ingredient list
Daily value
Health claims
Allergens
Understand terms compare similar products
Be mindful of added sugars

26
Q

What’s on Food Labels

A

Fat
Saturated fat
Trans fat
Cholesterol
Sodium
Carbohydrate
Fiber
Sugars
Protein
Calcium
Iron
Potassium

27
Q

Expiration vs best-before

A

When the food is expired
When the food has gone past the best dates to consume it

28
Q

Nutrient content claims vs. health claims

A

Nutrient; describe the amount of nutrient in a food
Health; helps you choose food that you may want to include as a part of a healthy diet

29
Q

Macronutrient DRI’s (how much do I need?)

A

Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of recommendations established by health authorities to guide the intake of essential nutrients for healthy individuals. These recommendations include reference values for macronutrients, which are nutrients that are required by the body in relatively large amounts. The three main macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

30
Q

Calories in food (how many grams in each macro?)

A

The caloric content of macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—can be calculated based on the number of calories per gram for each.
Calories per Gram carbs: 4 calories
Calories per Gram proteins: 4 calories
Calories per Gram fats: 9 calories

31
Q

Function of these micronutrients

A

Vitamins help us regulate the body processes (digest, absorb, and metabolize our food)
Minerals can not be produced from within the body (helps regulate the body and processes while keeping our bones and teeth strong)

32
Q

Fat-soluble vs. water-soluble vitamins

A

water soluble vitamins dissolve in water making it easy for the vitamins to be passed into the bloodstream.
Fat soluble absorbs fats in the diet and stored in the body fatty tissue meaning it is not necessary to consume these daily

33
Q

Nutrient retention strategies

A

Buying
Storing
Cooking

34
Q

How much should people drink (and factors)? How much is your body made up of?

A

We should be drinking half our body weight
60% of water

35
Q

How the plate is divided

39
Q

Negative vs. positive energy balance

A

Negative;Eating fewer calories than your body burns prompts it to use stored energy, leading to weight loss.
Positive; If you take in more calories than you burn, having a positive energy balance, adjusting either your activity level (e.g., exercising) or calorie intake can restore balance.

40
Q

3 ways that your body uses energy

A
