Unit 1 Canada Food Guide, Calories.

Canada’s food guide to Healthy Eating. “Total diet” approach focuses on a person’s overall pattern of eating and the foods they choose over time. The food guide puts foods into four food groups: 1. Grain Products 2. Fruit and Vegetables 3. Milk Products 4. Meats and Alternatives

What are calories? Calories are the units used to measure the amount of energy we use. Calories are the units used to measure the amount of energy we use. Calories are a measure of the amount of energy that food will produce as it passes through the body. Calories are a measure of the amount of energy that food will produce as it passes through the body. 10 gram of carbs = 40 calories 10 gram of carbs = 40 calories 10 gram of protein = 40 calories 10 gram of protein = 40 calories 10 gram of fat = 90 calories 10 gram of fat = 90 calories

Energy Balance Equation. Caloric intake = “energy in” Caloric intake = “energy in” Calories burned = “energy out” Calories burned = “energy out” Energy in = Energy out. Our weight does not change. Energy in = Energy out. Our weight does not change. Energy in > (greater than) Energy out. We gain weight. Energy in > (greater than) Energy out. We gain weight. Energy in < (less than) Energy out. We loose weight. Energy in < (less than) Energy out. We loose weight.

Unit two Macronutrients, Micronutrients

Macronutrients. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Proteins Proteins Fats Fats

Carbohydrates “Carbs” The body converts carbs to glucose (sugar) which is used for fuel for physical activity. The body converts carbs to glucose (sugar) which is used for fuel for physical activity. Simple Carbs – sugar, give burst of energy. fruit, milk, yogurt, and fruit juices. Also in soft drinks, candy, cookies, cakes etc. Simple Carbs – sugar, give burst of energy. fruit, milk, yogurt, and fruit juices.

Proteins They help digest food, fight infection and build blood. They help digest food, fight infection and build blood. They only act as an energy source when all carbohydrates are exhausted.

Micronutrients Minerals Minerals Vitamins Vitamins

Minerals, proteins and fats Help get energy from carbs, proteins and fats (macronutrients), and help make bones, proteins and blood. (calcium, iron, sodium and chloride)

Vitamins, proteins and fats Are chemicals the body needs to build and maintain its cells and to release energy from carbs, proteins and fats (macronutrients).

Total Daily Caloric Need. How many calories we need depends on; gender, body size, genetics, age, and physical activity.

Unit 3 Understanding Nutrition Labeling

Nutrition Information on Food Labels Understanding Nutrition Labelling to Make Informed Food Choices

Nutrition information provided on food labels pg.314 “Good source of vitamin C” INGREDIENTS: Whole wheat, wheat bran, sugar/glucose-fructose, salt, malt (corn flour, malted barley), vitamins (thiamine hydrochloride, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, d- calcium pantothenate), minerals (iron, zinc oxide). Nutrition Facts Ingredient List Nutrition Claims Health Claims “A healthy diet…”

27 Nutrition Facts: easy to find, easy to read, and on more foods

Nutrition Facts are based on a specific amount of food - compare this to the amount you eat All the nutrient information is based on this amount of food. The specific amount is: listed under the Nutrition Facts title listed in common measures you use at home and a metric unit not necessarily a suggested quantity of food to consume

The % Daily Value (% DV) is: a benchmark to evaluate the nutrient content of foods. a benchmark to evaluate the nutrient content of foods. based on recommendations for a healthy diet. based on recommendations for a healthy diet. used to determine whether there is a lot or a little of a nutrient. used to determine whether there is a lot or a little of a nutrient.

Choose between two similar products... Cereal 1 Cereal 2 Cereal 1 Cereal 2 Use the % DV to make informed food choices

all of the ingredients for a food are listed by weight, from the most to the least a source of certain nutrient information a source of information for people with allergies INGREDIENTS: WHOLE GRAIN ROLLED OATS, SUGAR, HIGH MONOUNSATURATED CANOLA OIL, ALMOND PIECES, RAISINS, GOLDEN SYRUP, SALT, CRISP RICE (RICE FLOUR, SOY PROTEIN, SUGAR, MALT, SALT), SOY LECITHIN, NATURAL FLAVOUR Example: Use the ingredient list to make informed food choices

Nutrition claims When you want to decrease the amount of certain nutrients: Free none or hardly any of this nutrient none or hardly any of this nutrient an example is “sodium free” an example is “sodium free” Low a small amount a small amount an example is “low fat” an example is “low fat” Reduced at least 25% less of the nutrient compared with a similar product at least 25% less of the nutrient compared with a similar product an example is “reduced in calories” an example is “reduced in calories” Light can be used on foods that are reduced in fat or reduced in calories can be used on foods that are reduced in fat or reduced in calories

Nutrition claims When you want to increase the amount of certain nutrients: Source contains a significant amount of the nutrient contains a significant amount of the nutrient an example is “source of fibre” an example is “source of fibre” High or good source contains a high amount of the nutrient contains a high amount of the nutrient an example is “high in vitamin C” an example is “high in vitamin C” Very high or excellent source contains a very high amount of the nutrient contains a very high amount of the nutrient an example is “excellent source of calcium” an example is “excellent source of calcium”
