women 21-33%

28
Q

calorie

A

unite of energy found in foods

29
Q

10 calories per what

A

per pound of body weight ithat is needed to supply body energy needs at rest

30
Q

how many calories are estimated for daily activities

A

300-500 calories/day

31
Q

calorie expenditure

A

60% basal (tissue repar and growth)
30% daily activities
10% dietary thermogenesis

32
Q

what are the 6 main classes of nutrients

A

Carbohdrates
Proteins
Fats
Minerals
Vitamins
Water

33
Q

what are the macronutrients

A

carbohydrates, proteins, fats, also water

34
Q

macronutrients

A

essential nutrients that the body needs in large amounts ot stay healthy
- help prevent disease, provide body with energy, body function

35
Q

calories per gram for carbs

A

1 gram = 4 calories

36
Q

calories per gram protein

A

1 gram = 4 calories

37
Q

calories per gram fat

A

1 gram = 9 calories

38
Q

how many essential amino acids are there

A

9

39
Q

carbohydrates

A

main energy source for body’s cells, tissues, and organs
- found in plant sources
- carbs are mainly sugars, fibers and starches

40
Q

difference between simple and complex carbs i

A
  • how quickly they are absorbed by the body
  • chemical structure
41
Q

which type of carb is abosrbed by the body faster

A

simple carbs absorbed more quickly

42
Q

simple carbs examples

A

sugars, natural synthetic: sucrose, lactose, honey , molasses

43
Q

complex carbs examples

A

fibers and starch

44
Q

what is starch

A

stored glucose molecuels in plants
- humans convert starch into glucose to use for energy

45
Q

what is fiber

A

carbohydrate chians that the body cannot break down
- adds bulk

46
Q

two types of fiber

A

soluble fiber
non-soluble fiber

47
Q

examples of soluble fiber

A

pectin (in fruits) gums in some grain like oats and barley

48
Q

soluble fiber

A

binds with water to become a “gel” in the digestive tract

49
Q

non-soluble fiber

A

does not bind with water and acts to “scrape” the digestive tract
- removes old gut tissue
- helps to reduce some cancers

50
Q

glycemic index

A

the speed of relative rise in blood glucose

51
Q

protein

A

composed of long chains of amino acidsc

52
Q

complete protein

A

food that contains all 9 essential amino acids

53
Q

why is protein consumption important

A

adequate intake is important for keeping muscles, bones, and tissues health

54
Q

fat

A
  • dense energy source
  • main component of cellular structures
55
Q

what does fat help to transport

A

vitamins like A, D, K, and E

56
Q

micronutrients

A

minerals and vitamins
- special chemical that body cannot manufacture on its own but needed to help create tissues, release energy, regulate metabolic processes, and make DNA

57
Q

minerals

A

inorganic compounds that enter the food chain through plants absorbing them from the soil and water

58
Q

how many minerals are considered essential

A

15

59
Q

what are examples of essential minerals

A

calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper

60
Q

vitamis

A

water soluble and fat soluble

61
Q

water soluble vitamins

A

vitamins B, C
- need to be supplied on a daily basis since the body has minited ability to store them and excretes the excess supplies
- can be done through macrodosing

62
Q

fat soluble vitamins

A

vitamins A, D, E, K
- stored in the body particularly in the liver and body fat cells

63
Q

roles of water in the body

A
  • regulates body temperature via sweat
  • maintains blood pressure
  • delivers oxygen to cells
  • eliminates waste products
64
Q

how much fluid does a person need per day

A

2000 calorie diet should be abour 7-11 cups

65
Q

phytochemical

A

non essential to human life but helps support and protect cells
- plant compounds not classified as vitamins or minerals but provide natural disease resistance to humans

66
Q

what do phytochemicals do

A

reduce inflammation
- aid immune system/cancer-fighting properties
- prevent cellular damage free radiacls

67
Q

phytochemical-rich foods

A

broccoli, berries, citrus, cruciferous vegetables, tomatoes, soybeans
