nutrients

A

the components in food that supply the elements necessary to meet the bodies requirements for energy, growth, maintenance and repair

33

carbohydrates

A

usually come from fruits, veggies, legumes and grains

is the chief source of energy and bulk

34
Q

3 groups of carbohydrates

A

simple sugars
complex carbohydrates (starches)
dietary fiber (roughage)

35
Q

what is the carb that supplies the longest lasting energy, why?

A

complex carbohydrates because they must be broken down

36
Q

proteins

A

proteins

38
Q

simple sugars

A

sugars composed of a single sugar molecule

39
Q

complex carbohydrates

A

starches and fibers

linked molecules converted h to sugars for energy release by the body during digestion

40
Q

fiber (roughage)

A

the part of the carbohydrate that cannot be digested to produce energy

does help bowel function

41
Q

make up of proteins

A

made up of strings of amino acids containing a well balanced mixture of all 8 essential amino acids

Q

lipids

A

provide concentrated energy and make food taste better, carry certain vitamins and cushion organs while supplying essential fatty acids
