If you are unsure which measurements to use for your food, come to the front (I have examples!)
Write down on your worksheet the calories, fat, carbs, and protein for your daily diet!

19. Health & Metabolism
NUTRITION- The process of digestion and absorption of foods and the body’s use of it for growth and replacement of cells
You will consume about 50 tons of food in your lifetime
Unhealthy diet can lead to illness
Heart Disease
Cancer
Type 2 Diabetes
High Blood Pressure
Stroke
Osteoporosis

20. Carbohydrates
Most nutritionists agree that 55 to 65% of our diet should be carbohydrates
Primary source of energy – easiest food to break down and use for energy.
Produced by all plant life – fruits, vegetables, grains (6-11 servings a day).

21. Protein It is recommended that 15 to 20% of the diet come from protein
Function: vital part of every body cell – muscle, bone, blood, and organs
Excess protein cannot be stored in the body
Examples- meat, milk, poultry, cheese, fish, and eggs

22. Fats
Most nutritionist agree that we should reduce fat intake to under 30% of our diet.
Fats contain about 9 calories per gram (twice as many carbohydrates or protein)
Function: storage form for food energy (add flavor and help satisfy hunger)
Bad Fats = Trans Fats (more solid and resistant to chemical change, butter)

23. Food Journal Analysis
Use the instructions on the back of your Food Journal to analyze your daily eating habits
Make sure to pay attention to what you are supposed to be calculating!
Calculators are located at the front if you need one
Finished?? Make sure your Digestive Model is complete!
