 Metabolism: the chemical process by which your body breaks down food to release energy (what can raise or lower this?)  Calories: Measurement of the amount of energy released when nutrients are broken down. The more energy a food has, the more calories it has  Page 193- Which would you rather?

 Lesson Essential Question: What are the six groups of nutrients?  Nutrients: the substances in food that your body needs to grow, to repair itself, and to supply you with energy  Can you name any of the six groups?

 Carbohydrates: nutrients made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that supply energy for bodily functions  Body’s preferred source of energy  4 calories per gram  Simple and Complex  Simple (sugars such as fructose or lactose, found naturally in fruit or added in foods such as candy bars)  Complex (Made up of sugars that are linked together chemically to form long chains)  Starches are one of the main types of carbohydrates (such as potatoes/grains/many plant foods)  Body must break down complex carbohydrates into simple carbs before it can use them

 Converted into glucose (simple sugar that is the main source of the body’s energy)  Glucose not used away is stored in your body and muscles as glycogen. It is converted back to glucose when more energy is needed.  If you take in more carbs then your body can use or store as glycogen, then body converts and stores excess carbs as fat

 Proteins: nutrients that help build and maintain body cells and tissues (growth and repair of body tissues)  Made up of long chains of amino acids  The body breaks up these amino acids and reforms them into desired proteins  Body can manufacture up to 11 out of the 20 different amino acids that make up proteins.  Essential amino acids: the 9 amino acids that your body can’t make (must get them from food you eat)  Complete proteins: Contain adequate amounts of all nine essential acids (egg, milk, cheese, fish)  Incomplete proteins: lack one or more of the essential amino acids (beans, peas, nuts)  Muscle fiber explanation/tornado example

 Fats: oily substance found in food that doesn’t dissolve in water (also made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but different proportions)  Supply body with energy, form cells, maintain body temperature, protect nerves, necessary for growth and healthy skin  Provide more than twice the energy of proteins or carbs (9 calories per gram)  Add flavor and texture to foods  No more than percent of caloric intake

 Saturated: usually solid at room temperature and hold all the hydrogen atoms that it possibly can  Unsatruated: Usually liquid at room temperature and have at least one place where hydrogen can be added to the molecule  Transfat: Making unsaturated fats into saturated fats through hydrogenation  No nutritional value, increases LDL and decreases HDL, increases risk of heart disease  (increases shelf life and is in commercial food products)  Should we ban it like Denmark, Australia, Switzerland?

 Help the body with essential functions and assist in many chemical reactions  Made by living things  They do not provide you with a direct source of energy  Two classes (fat soluble and water soluble) depends on what the vitamin dissolves in  Fat soluble vitamins can be stored by the body  Water soluble vitamins can not, so it’s important to eat them everyday

 Occur naturally in rocks and soil  Essential for bodily processes and function  Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Chlorine, Potassium are all examples of minerals

 About 65% of your body weight is water  Not a main energy source but it is ESSENTIAL for all life processes including the production of energy  Primary component of blood and tissue  Carries waste products out of the body  Helps digest food  Keeps body strong
